When the driver opened the car glass a young man asked whether it is Tuhin Malik’s car. When the driver relpied in positive then the young man pointed a gun at the driver and asked him to get out of the car. When he get down fron the driving seat the four young men beat him up and threatened to kill Dr Tuhin Malik if continues to take part in talk shows anymore, police and witnesses said.

The miscreants told the driver, “Tell Tuhin we would kill him if he continues with his tall talks in talk shows. We’re sparing you, but we would not spare Tuhin if he keeps on his tall talks in talk shows.”

It is worth mentioning that Dr Tuhin Malik, Dr Ashif Nazrul and Pias Karim used to take part in different talks shows in private television channels and criticise various activities of the government which might have angered the ruling party activists and they threatened to kill them for censuring the government activities to gag their voice of dissent.
