BNP’s Kayser Kamal sends legal notice to Jugantor editor over ‘false and defamatory’ report

BNP’s law affairs secretary Barrister Kaysar Kamal has issued a legal notice to Jugantor editor Abdul Hye Sikder, accusing the newspaper of publishing “false and defamatory” news.

The notice, sent on Sunday, refers to a report titled “BNP’r Chadabajir Boli Sohag” (BNP’s extortion victim Sohag), published on 12 July in both the print and online editions, according to a report by bdnews24.com’s Bangla edition.

Kamal claims the report was false, fabricated, and aimed at damaging the party’s image.

The BNP leader has asked Jugantor to apologise and withdraw the report within five days. If not, he says, legal action will follow.

As the report was published under the byline “staff correspondent,” Kamal noted, the notice was addressed to the editor.
