Sub-inspector Mohammad Rayhanuzzaman of the Uttara West Police Station under Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) is the investigation officer of the case.
Meanwhile, on January 19, 2023, before Sajal Mahmud Ony and Shamol Mahmood Anjan were supposed to be produced before Dhaka court, Nazmus Saquib, a friend of Sajal Mahmud Ony phone Dhaka’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate requesting him to release Ony and his brother Anjan on bail. As the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate informed Nazmus Saquib that two of the sections in the case were “non-bailable” Saquib told CMM that he will remain grateful for granting bail. Subsequently, the CMM phoned a magistrate instructing him to release Sajal Mahmud Ony and Shamol Mahmood Anjan on bail. But the magistrate could not comply with CMM’s instruction as the court time was over. It is anticipated that these ‘Nagorik TV’ cohorts will be released on bail on January 22, 2023 (Sunday).
