Subash Chowdhury, Satkhira correspondent of the Bhorer Kajoj, filed a case with Kalaroa thana accusing them of attacking and injuring some journalists.

After investigation, police submitted charge sheet against them on April last year.

Earlier the court issued arrest warrants against them as they did not appear for trail.

Local sources however claimed that all the accused are moving freely in the area and visit Kalaroa thana at times.

Police said they could not arrest them and informed court that they were absconding.
