Photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol, who disappeared about two months ago after he was named in a digital security case, has been found on the Benapole border.
Border guards arrested him in Raghunathpur and turned him in to the police early Sunday, said Mamun Khan, chief of Benapole Port Police Station, bdnews24.com reported.
“BGB has filed a case of illegal intrusion against him. We’ll send him to court today,” he said.
An official from Benapole Police Station informed Kajol’s family by phone at around 2.45 am on Sunday, said his wife Julia Ferdousi.
Kajol’s family filed a general diary with the police on Mar 12 as they were unable to reach him after he left home at Bakshibazar in Dhaka on Mar 10.
Kajol, who had previously worked as a photojournalist for Dainik Samakal and Banik Barta, is the editor of a fortnightly magazine Pakkhakal.
He was named in a case filed over a report published on the people ‘involved’ in disgraced ruling party operative Shamima Noor Papia’s alleged escort services out of The Westin Dhaka.
