DSA Case Against Journalist Kajol: Charged with ‘defaming ministers, MPs, leaders’
Investigation is flawed, says his lawyer
Investigators have charged photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol with circulating indecent, defamatory, objectionable and fake information about some ministers, lawmakers and top Jubo Mahila League leaders on Facebook.
After an almost 10-month long probe, Sub-inspector Mohammad Russell Mollah of Detective Branch of police, the investigation officer, filed the charge sheet with Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka on February 4 in a case under the Digital Security Act (DSA).
Usmin Ara Bally, a member of the central committee of Bangladesh Jubo Mahila League, a wing of the ruling Awami League, filed the case with Hazaribagh Police Station on March 10 last year.
