Dhaka Judge Files Defamation Case Against Channel 24 MD and Six Journalists

A defamation lawsuit has been brought against AK Azad, the managing director of Channel 24, along with six other journalists from the private television network.

Judge Md Ariful Islam lodged the complaint on Monday in the court of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sefatullah.

The petition states that two separate reports aired by the broadcaster featured false and defamatory statements targeting the judge, while also misrepresenting his remarks in a distorted manner.

Md Azizur Rahman Dulu, the lawyer representing the plaintiff, said the seven journalists disseminated fabricated, untrue, and damaging material about the judge through edited content.
