A journalist in Chattogram has reported receiving a death threat after refusing to pay Tk 5 million in extortion money. According to the report, the threat was issued via WhatsApp on Saturday afternoon by Mobarak Hossain, also known as Imon, an associate of fugitive criminal Sajjad Ali alias Boro Sajjad. The victim, journalist Biplob Dey Partha of Bangla TV’s Chattogram office and acting general secretary of the Janmashtami Celebration Council’s central committee, filed a general diary with Kotwali Police Station following the incident.
