Muhammad Asadullah, a journalist for Amar Desh and central joint convener of the National Youth Power under the National Citizens Party (NCP), has been arrested, prompting his family to allege a politically motivated conspiracy. His wife, Naima Akter Rima, said police detained him last Friday without prior notice, claiming an old case was deliberately revived to humiliate him socially and politically. The family insists the arrest is part of a planned campaign of harassment rather than a routine legal process.
According to the family, the incident followed an attack by local political activists who smeared color on Asadullah and his father after the election. They allege the arrest was retaliation for protesting that assault. The family also reported threats from influential local ruling party leaders after Asadullah’s sister posted on social media, leaving them fearful for their safety.
Police stated that Asadullah was arrested under a 2024 cheque dishonor case in which he was a convicted and warrant-listed accused. However, they did not explain why the warrant had not been executed earlier. Asadullah is currently held in Pabna District Jail, and his family has appealed for his protection and a fair trial.
