Prominent Bangladeshi journalist Munni Saha was mobbed in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar on Saturday, accused of being an Indian agent and supporting ousted PM Sheikh Hasina. Her car was intercepted by a crowd, prompting police intervention. Taken to Tejgaon Police Station and later the Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Branch office for safety, Saha was not arrested but suffered a panic attack. Police clarified she faces four cases and must seek bail. The incident highlights rising harassment of journalists under caretaker PM Muhammad Yunus. Protests against media outlets like Prothom Alo and Daily Star continue amidst intensified scrutiny.
