Unidentified people picked up renowned photographer and activist Shahidul Alam from his residence at Dhanmondi in Dhaka Sunday at about 10:30pm, alleged his colleagues and family members.

Founder of Drik and Pathshala South Asian Media Institute, the award-winning photographer was picked up a day after he was assaulted while capturing photos of the ongoing students’ protests and his camera was vandalized in Dhanmondi area.

‘A group of people in plainclothes by black cars came to his building on road no 32 of Dhanmondi, broke its CCTV cameras, disconnected intercom connection of the building, kept the guards confined and entered into Shahidul’s apartment on the third floor and took him away between 10:30pm and 10:35pm,’ Saydia Gulrukh, one of the directors of Drik told New Age.

She said that Shahidul had been crying when the people had been taking him away.

‘We want him alive, unharmed,’ she said.

Dhanmondi police station duty officer sub-inspector Mahidul Islam at 11:15pm said that they received the information and sent police force to the spot.

‘Besides, we have sent wireless messages to the police stations in Dhaka in this connection,’ he said.

BAL duplicity to stick to state power by any means has created anarchism at its extreme. The country needs a fair election to choose a new group of politicians to run the country. BAL is a complete failure. No one is safe in BD.

Police escort Drik Gallery founder and celebrated photographer Shahidul Alam out of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court after he was remanded in an ICT case on Monday, August 6, 2018 Dhaka Tribune
The celebrated photographer was picked up from his home in Dhanmondi on Sunday night

Drik Gallery founder and famed photographer Shahidul Alam has been remanded into police custody for seven days in a case filed under the ICT Act.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Asaduzzaman Noor ordered his remand on Monday, after he was produced before his court by Detective Branch (DB) of police's Inspector Arman Ali.

Lead defence lawyer Barrister Sara Hossain had submitted a plea for the photographer's bail. But the court rejected it.

Md Masudur Rahman, deputy commissioner (DC) (media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), earlier in the day had said that they would seek 10-day remand for Shahidul.

Shahidul was picked up from his Dhanmondi home on Sunday night by DB police officials for interrogation.

He was taken to the DB office on Monday morning.

“We have brought him here to interrogate him regarding his student-protest-related Facebook posts,” DC Masudur said.

Shahidul’s partner Rehnuma Ahmed said that she was asked to come to the DB office on Dhaka’s Mintoo Road in the afternoon.

She also said a DB officer told her that Shahidul was charged under the ICT Act and he would be produced before a court for arraignment Monday.

On Saturday and Sunday, the photographer had gone live Facebook several times to discuss clashes in the city’s Jigatola area between students demonstrating for safer roads and police and allegedly activists of ruling party affiliate organizations.

Shahidul, who is also the founder of the Pathshala South Asian Media Institute, also discussed these issues and criticised the government during an interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday.

Students of different education institutions have been out on the streets since July 29, demanding safer roads and justice for the two students who were killed in a road accident on Dhaka’s Airport Road.

That day, Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment School and College students Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib were killed, and several others were injured, when a speeding bus of Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan ploughed into a group of students.

For the last six days, the ongoing street movement by students demonstrating for road safety was largely peaceful, except for some incidents that included vandalism.

The situation worsened on Saturday afternoon, with violence fuelled by rumour-mongering, claims, and counter-claims on social media

No one is safe except Awami gunda, panda, lifangas. People from all walks of life must come out and demand for recognition of Hasina and reinstate CTG for general election. People of Bd will not enjoy freedom until Hasina is removed. This is the bottom line.
