The journalists are former ETV chief reporter Mahathir Farooki Khan and former special correspondent Kanak Sarwar. DB Inspector Emdadul Haque, also the case’s investigation officer, submitted the charge sheet before Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s court yesterday. Emdadul showed Tarique, Mahathir Farooki and Kanak Sarwar as fugitives in the case and appealed to the court to issue arrest warrants against them as they did not secure bail. After Home Ministry’s clearance on January 8 last year, Tejgaon police station SI Barhan Uddin filed the case against Tarique and Salam over broadcasting Tarique’s speech delivered at an event in London. Later, Mahathir Farooki and Kanak Sarwar were implicated in the charge sheet.
