DHAKA, November 4, 2026 : Bangladesh Media Monitor (BDMM) expresses concern over DBC News crime reporter Rajib Ghosh being taken from his workplace to the Detective Branch (DB) office.
On November 4, 2026, Rajib Ghosh was taken into DB custody while the authorities were detaining Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, former information advisor to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, at DBC News headquarters in Ahsan Tower. According to information provided to BDMM by his colleagues, no specific reason was communicated for taking Rajib Ghosh into custody.
