Independent TV’s Assistant Manager Yunus Ali filed the plea with the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court on Monday, but the matter came to light on Tuesday

Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Crime, Information and Prosecution Department Additional Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Anisur Rahman told bdnews24.com the court fixed Wednesday for a hearing.

He added Metropolitan Magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan also ordered the Shahbagh police to submit a report on the plea.

Imtiaz Momin Sony and cameraman Mohsin Mukul of the private television station came under attack at Rony’s Meherba Plaza office on Topkhana Road on Saturday where they had gone to interview the MP for their investigative programme Talash.

Later, a case was filed against the Patuakhali-3 MP with the Shagbagh police station.
Although Rony regretted the incident, he claimed that Independent TV co-owner Salman F Rahman put the 'Talash team after him due to his remarks on the share market scam.
The MP also lodged a complaint on his official letterhead with the Shahbagh police on Saturday night, accusing Rahman of extortion, blackmailing, attempt-to-murder, and abduction.
Rony secured the bail in the case on July 21.
