Journo held at RU
Police yesterday detained Rajshahi bureau chief of the Daily Khabarpatra for criticising the prime minister. University sources said Md Humayun Kabir used abusive language against the prime minister after going through the newspaper reports on execution of killers of Bangabandhu. He also locked in an altercation at the Rajshahi University Public Relations Office with public relations assistant Shafiqul Islam Shahzada and employee Habibur Rahman Mukul as they protested to his remark. Shafiqul said they protested when Humayun made derogative remarks on the prime minister. Mukul said the journalist also threatened to paralyse the campus 'within five minutes' and made several calls over mobile phone. At one stage, the officials informed the matter to police and the higher authorities of the university. Pro-vice chancellor Prof M Nurullah rushed to the Public Relations Office and handed Kabir over to the law enforcers.
