Mushfiq serves legal notice to media outlet

Bangladeshi cricket player Mushfiqur Rahim has served a legal notice to Ekattor media, a private TV channel, for airing a spot-fixing report against him during the second and final Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand.

On behalf of the player, Mushfiqur's legal representative, Supreme Court advocate Shihab Uddin Khan, sent a formal notice to Ekattor TV.

The warning also contained four further criteria that needed to be fulfilled in 48 hours.

The demands are immediate elimination of the report from social media and digital platforms, telecast of an apology, issuance of a press release containing the apology, and demanding written confirmation to be sent to Mushfiqur that the TV station has warned the reporter against such actions in the future.
