The process of releasing incarcerated photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol is underway.
The case documents were supposed to reach the judge today. Some other formalities will remain even after the documents reach. The release of my father may take one or two more days as the case documents did not reach the judge today, Kajol s son Monorom Polok told The Daily Star.
He hoped that his father would be home soon. Hopefully, our father as well as we will return to a normal life, he said.

After photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol was found near the Indian border in the middle of the night 53 days after his disappearance, his family thought he would be coming home soon.
Kajol s son went to Jashore to bring him, while his wife and daughter waited in Dhaka.
Then as the day progressed, the photojournalist was suddenly whisked off to jail, under Section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). The police informed the court that he was being arrested since he was facing three cases under the Digital Security Act (DSA) filed separately by a lawmaker and two activists of Jubo Mahila League.
