Newsman on the run in Kushtia

Our Correspondent, Kushtia
A journalist here is now on the run after being entangled in a 'false case.' The newsman is Saidur Rahman, Daulatpur upazila correspondent of local daily Dainik Aldoloner Bazar. A bidi factory manager's men in Daulatpur filed the case against the newsman following a clash between two groups of factory labourers on Monday. Kushtia Reporters' Unity convener Amanur Aman, in a statement, yesterday protested the incident and urged the factory owners to withdraw the name of the journalist from what he said a 'false case.' Learning that two groups of labourers are at loggerheads at the factory, Saidur Rahman went to Akiz Bidi factory at Hosnabad in Daulatpur. Saidur wanted to know from the factory manager, Khorsed Alam about the incident. But Khorsed supplied no information, rather he implicated him in a 'false case' with the help of loyal workers for filing a story on the incident.
