Bangladeshi journalist Anis Alomgir has been taken into custody by the Detective Branch (DB) for questioning, according to police sources. The move followed mounting criticism from the political platform July Oikya, which accused Alomgir of inciting hostility against its spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi and defaming the July movement. The group has issued an ultimatum, threatening to besiege the Home Ministry if Alomgir is released without formal arrest. July Oikya organizers alleged that Alomgir, known for his pro-Awami League stance, engaged in what they called 'information terrorism' and made derogatory remarks about July revolution activists. They further claimed that both government and foreign lobbyists were pressuring authorities to release him. A DB official, speaking anonymously, confirmed that Alomgir was brought in for interrogation on specific issues but did not clarify whether charges would follow. The incident underscores growing political polarization and tensions between pro- and anti-government factions in post-Hasina Bangladesh. Observers warn that such confrontations between activist groups and state institutions could further strain the fragile political environment.
