DHAKA, July 27, 2025 (BSS) – A special court here today issued arrest warrants against three journalists, including former editor of Daily Bangladesh Pratidin Naem Nizam, in a case filed under the Digital Security Act (DSA).

The two other accused are - Bangladesh Pratidin publisher Moynal Hossain Chowdhury and Bangla Insider editor Syed Burhan Kabir.

Judge Nur-e-Alam of the Dhaka Cyber Tribunal passed the order after the accused failed to appear before the court despite being summoned. The prosecution pleaded for arrest warrants, which the court granted. The tribunal also set August 28 for submission of the report on execution of the order, court bench official Jewel Miah told BSS.

Supreme Court lawyer Barrister M Sarwar Hossain filed the case against seven individuals on February 15, 2022. The court had earlier directed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to probe the matter and submit a report.

CID Sub-Inspector Torikul Islam filed the investigation report on November 20, 2024, implicating the three accused.

The court accepted the charge sheet on June 2, 2025, and summoned the accused to appear before it on July 27.
