Former interim government adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul posted on Facebook on April 29, 2026, addressing allegations made against him by what he called 'land-grabber brothers' and their affiliated newspapers. In his post, he challenged the media to provide proof of claims that he had purchased property with illicit funds, dismissing the accusations as baseless and politically motivated.

Nazrul recounted earlier rumors, including claims that he had bought houses in Dhaka and the United States, and later accusations of embezzling large sums of money. He said these reports lacked evidence and were contradicted by official statements from the Ministry of Law, which found no irregularities in the transfer of sub-registrars. He argued that the allegations intensified after the fall of a previous government and his role in the interim administration.

Concluding his post, Nazrul stated that he would not pursue legal action or complaints to the Press Council, saying he lacked the resources to counter the media’s influence. He sarcastically saluted those spreading the allegations, asserting that the country now belonged to such powerful individuals.
