The Press Wing of Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser has dismissed as false and baseless a viral video containing allegations against Professor Ali Riaz, the Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant. The statement, issued on Wednesday, described the claims made by a woman named Atandronu Ripa as fabricated and defamatory. It added that the government is closely monitoring the situation and considering legal action. Professor Riaz stated that he does not know the woman and that all claims of personal connection or misconduct are entirely untrue. He urged those spreading such content to stop immediately, warning that legal measures will be taken against anyone involved in defamation or character assassination. The incident highlights growing concerns over misinformation and reputational attacks on social media platforms in Bangladesh.
