A Dhaka court has issued arrest warrants for Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan, Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir and two media executives in a cheque dishonour case filed by a former journalist. Warrants were also issued against East West Media Group director Naem Nizam and former editor of daily Kaler Kantho Shahed Muhammad Ali. The case was lodged on May 26 by Rahenur Islam, a former senior sub-editor at Kaler Kantho and now a reporter at Sokal Sondha. After sending legal notices on Apr 8 to the four accused without receiving payment, Rahenur filed the case. Neither Bashundhara Group nor East West Media Group has commented on the warrants.
