Journalist leaders in a joint statement on Monday demanded law enforcers to interrogate ATN Bangla Chairman Mahfuzur Rahman regarding journalist couple Sagar-Runi killing.
Mahfuzur Rahman has said recently in London that "Sagar-Runi was the victim of extra marital affair".
Protesting the remarks, the journalist leaders said, "The speech of ATN Bangla chairman is inhuman and defamatory for Runi who was a journalist of the organisation”.
Journalist leaders demanded to interrogate Mahfuzur Rahman immediately as he said that he has video footage to support his claim.
Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) presidents Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury and Ruhul Amin Gazi, secretary general Abdul Jalil Bhuiyan, acting secretary general M Abdullah, Dhaka Journalist Union presidents Abdus Shahid and Omar Faruque, general secretaries Muhammad Baker Hossain and Shaban Mahmud, Jatiya Press Club president kamal Uddin, general secretary Syed Abdal Ahmad, Dhaka Reporters Unity president Sakhawat Hossain and general secretary Sajjad Alam Khan signed the statement.
Sagar, a news editor at the private television channel Maasranga, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter of another private television station ATN Bangla, were found murdered at their West Rajabazar residence in the city on February 11.
