Three newspapers, belonging to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Press Secretary Nayeemul Islam Khan have shut their doors indefinitely.
The publications of Amader Notun Shomoy, Amader Orthoneeti, and Our Time have been suspended indefinitely, daily Amader Notun Shomoy Executive Editor Sohel Biplob told the media on Friday.
He added, “On August 5 at 10:30pm, miscreants attacked the offices of Amader Notun Shomoy, Amader Orthoneeti, and Our Time newspapers. They ransacked the offices thoroughly, and looted important equipment.”
