Dhaka Metropolitan Police spokesperson Masudur Rahman told bdnews24.com that Rony had already been picked up by the police from Badda in the capital.
Earlier, Metropolitan Magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan issued a warrant of arrest for Rony scrapping his bail petition.
Imtiaz Momin Sony and cameraman Mohsin Mukul of the private television station Independent TV 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 Shahbagh police station.
Although Rony regretted the incident, he claimed that Independent TV co-owner Salman F Rahman put the 'Talash' team after him following 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.
