Gono Odhikar Parishad leader Nurul Haque Nur has accused influential individuals of orchestrating the arrests of My TV chairman Nasir Uddin Sathi and his son Towhid Afridi to seize control of the channel. Nur claimed that the two were pressured with offers of Tk 5 crore in cash or share transfers. When negotiations failed, he said, authorities arrested them under a case filed a year earlier related to a student murder. He argued that such politically motivated arrests undermine press freedom and may draw criticism from international human rights organizations. “Just as in the case of Daily Janakantha’s takeover, those manipulating the administration for My TV must also be exposed and held accountable,” Nur stated.
