The group appeared at 8:00am and took away the entire stock of these three newspapers from the distributor outlet, said the outlet’s Manager Abu Siddique.
According to him, the youths shouted slogans against these newspapers for whipping up religious passions and said they will not allow their sale in Netrokona.
Five cases were filed on Saturday against daily Amar Desh Acting Editor Mahmudur Rahman over inciting religious violence and vandalism.
Shahbag’s Ganajagaran Mancha have also been demanding arrest of Mahmudur Rahman and a ban on Sangram and Naya Diganta which are known to be pro-Jamaat.
