The Bangladesh Jubo Dal has expelled a leader from its Mugda Thana unit following allegations of physically and mentally harassing a journalist. According to a press release issued on Wednesday afternoon, the organization removed Kazi Jewel, former general secretary of the Mugda Thana Jubo Dal, from all party positions, including primary membership. The incident involved multimedia reporter Zahedul Islam Arif of the daily Somoyer Alo, who was reportedly attacked while performing his professional duties.

The report states that the incident occurred during a Jubo Dal protest rally in Dhaka against political propaganda. During the event, Kazi Jewel allegedly assaulted the journalist and behaved inappropriately. The central leadership of Jubo Dal clarified that the organization would not take responsibility for the expelled leader’s misconduct and instructed members to avoid maintaining any organizational ties with him.

The expulsion underscores the party’s attempt to distance itself from acts of violence against media professionals and to reinforce internal discipline within its ranks.
