Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Tejgaon Zone Deputy Commissioner Biplob Kumar Sarkar confirmed bdnews24.com about the GDs filed with Tejgaon Police Station on Wednesday night.
The GDs also accused Jatiya Party leader Kazi Firoz Rashid.
The move came after the television station owners met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday and discussed safety of journalists and also the comment of Mazhar.
DC Biplob said many indirectly blamed Farhad Mazhar for the bomb attacks on media outlets and journalists during the opposition’s strike.
He said they were investigating the GD filed by Tejgaon Police Station’s Sub-Inspector Anwar Hossain.
The other GD was filed by the English daily New Nation’s Special Correspondent Pulack Ghatack, who is also the Executive Committee Member of the Dhaka Union of Journalists.
Pulack said he anticipated more attacks on journalists following remarks made by Mazhar and Rashid and called for bringing these two talk-show participants to law in the complaint.
