A Bangladeshi journalist was arrested and another was on the run after being accused of publishing “false information” about voting irregularities in an election won by the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.

Hedayet Hossain Mollah, who works for the Dhaka Tribune newspaper, was detained late on Tuesday under a controversial digital security law that rights groups say gives authorities sweeping powers to stifle dissent.

Mollah was arrested in the southern Khulna region after he reported that in one constituency 22,419 more ballots than the number of registered voters were cast, the local police chief Mahbubur Rahman said.
