Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Mizanur Rahman yesterday said that action would be taken against the policemen responsible for the attack on journalists.

"A one-member probe committee of DMP Deputy Commissioner (South) Mazhar is investigating the incident and punitive action will be taken against the offenders as soon as the committee submits its report," he said.

Several journalists, including Channel-i senior reporter Mahbub Matin and cameraman Zahid Siddique, were injured in the police attack in front of National Press Club during the opposition's grand rally at Paltan Maidan on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, three intelligence officials visited Zahid's Rampura residence yesterday and enquired him about the incident.
