National daily Prothom Alo’s reporter Shamsuzzaman Shams arrested in a case, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday said.
The minister came up with the remarks while responding to questions from journalists after an event at the ministry.
“Police can take measures if anyone being aggrieved seeks justice and lodges case at police station,” he said.
“However I am not fully clear about the matter but something happened centering the case,” the minister said.
Terming the Prothom Alo’s report as baseless, he said, “You journalists through Ekattor TV reported that the baseless news was prepared with ill motive.”
“I will inform you of the details after knowing all,” the minister added.
Shamsuzzaman was picked up by the plain cloth men claimed to be CID officials earlier on Wednesday from his Savar home.
Witnesses and family members reported that 16 members of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in plainclothes picked him up from his home in the Ambagan neighborhood, which is close to Jahangirnagar University, at around 4:30am in the morning.
