The identities of the perpetrators in connection with the assault on journalists during the students’ demonstration for safe roads have been brought under light, said Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu.
The minister revealed this in a press briefing at his office in the secretariat on Tuesday.
Terming the incident was unexpected, he said, “We have got the pictures of the attackers and requested the home minister verbally to initiate actions. We will also write to the home ministry in this regard.”
Earlier on Sunday, some allegedly Awami League men swooped on the journalists during students’ protest in Jigatola and Science Lab in the capital.
They snatched the cameras and broke those down, claimed the injured newsmen. At least five journalists were critically injured in that incident.
