Some notorious criminals gave a death threat to Editor of the weekly Rupsha Matiur Rahman on Wednesday night when he was returning home from his office at Khalishpur.

The threat came as he refused to withdraw a complaint he lodged with Khalishpur Police Station against some criminals who attacked him on the night of May 18, the editor said in a press statement.

Matiur Rahman, 71, was severely injured in the May 18 attack. The gang attacked him for writing against them.

He and his family members are now feeling insecure following the death threat, the editor said in the press statement.
