Angry mobs went on a rampage at ATN Bangla office in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar, forcing the authorities concerned to take ATN News off air.

"Nothing is left in our office. Everything has been taken except tables," a senior reporter at ATN News told UNB. "We are safe and have left office," he added.

The attack was carried out just after the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Talking to UNB, Channel 24 Special Correspondent, G M Mostafizul Alam said their seven reporters were attacked.

Their two cameras, two microphones, tripods, and broadcast machines and two backpacks (live devices) were taken away.
