Dhaka: BanglaFact, a fact-checking and media research team of the Press Institute of Bangladesh (PIB), has identified a fake photocard featuring purported comments by Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury regarding “Tarique Rahman’s address will be Keraniganj Prison if he returns to the country.”
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, BanglaFact’s investigation revealed that the edited photocard was falsely attributed to Kalbela, distorting comments allegedly made by Jahangir Alam Chowdhury. The investigation showed that the photocard, which bore the logo and design of Kalbela, was circulated on social media platform “Facebook,” claiming that the home adviser had made a statement about Tarique Rahman’s potential prison address.
The investigation team further confirmed that Kalbela had not published any such photocard, and Jahangir Alam Chowdhury had not made any comments aligning with the claims.
