He then worked for Dainik Dakshinanchal, Dainik Ajker Barta and Dainik Satya Sangbad. He served as the local correspondent for Saptahik 2000, a now-defunct yet influential magazine.

He played different roles at different outlets.

Currently, he covers crucial sectors including security, human rights, and politics for BenarNews as its Dhaka-based visual journalist. With his knack for poetry, screenplay and cinematography, he is a popular face in his arena, dearly known by his nickname Eon.

He also received the Edward R. Murrow Award in 2021 and the Telly Award in 2023.
