Police Wednesday filed a case against 3,000 garment workers for their alleged ties to protests and a road blockade in Savar, a police officer said, reports bdnews24.com.

Garment workers blocked traffic in Savar Tuesday, vandalised vehicles and put up barricades on Abdullahpur-EPZ motorway to protest the rumoured death of a colleague in a road accident.

Shafiul Alam, sub-inspector (SI) of Ashulia police sta tion, said Savar correspondent of private television channel Ekushey was also named in the case on charges of fuelling the protests.

Sub-inspector Obaidul Islam filed the case with the Ashulia police station.

ETV correspondent Nazmul Huda denied the allegation.

"I reported the news quoting the police," Nazmul said.
