Dhaka Capitals chief executive Atik Fahad has publicly accused the Bangladesh Premier League’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) of mishandling his mobile phone and unfairly targeting his team. Speaking to the media in Sylhet on January 9, 2026, he said his phone had been in ACU custody for five days without any update. Fahad also alleged that Afghan cricketer Rahmanullah Gurbaz was subjected to unnecessary questioning by ACU officials.

Fahad claimed that all teams except one were being treated as suspects by the ACU, suggesting unequal enforcement of anti-corruption measures. He criticized the approach taken toward prominent foreign players like Gurbaz, describing it as disrespectful and disruptive. Dhaka Capitals captain Mohammad Mithun added that most of these incidents occurred before matches against Rangpur Riders, alleging that the Integrity Unit even questioned player Saif during a match.

Mithun expressed surprise at the timing of ACU interventions, saying he had never seen such incidents in his long cricket career. The allegations have raised concerns about the conduct and timing of anti-corruption operations during the ongoing BPL season.
