Golam Kibria Md. Meshkat Chowdhury, the former central coordinator of an anti-discrimination organization, has issued a legal notice against nine individuals, including journalists and a university professor, for allegedly spreading false and baseless news. The controversy began on February 25, when Meshkat Chowdhury and three others were reportedly trapped inside Rajshahi Barind Medical College Hospital and later rescued by law enforcement. However, social media posts falsely claimed they were there for extortion. Both sides have denied any extortion attempts. In response to the misinformation, Chowdhury sent legal notices to those responsible, including Loton Ekram, Sourav Habib, Golam Rabbani, Mehedi Hasan Shyamal, Professor Kazi Zahid, Abdur Rahim, and Dr. Najib Wadud.
