Bangladesh police on Tuesday claimed to have found evidence about links of two detained pro-opposition senior journalists to abduction and murder plot of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son in the US.
“Journalist Shafik Rehman admitted that he held meetings with those who hatched the plot to abduct and kill Sajib Wajed Joy,”police spokesman Monirul Islam told reporters.
Rehman, 81, an editor and adviser to ex-premier Khaleda Zia, was detained over what was termed a plot to kill Joy.
