BNP candidate for Chattogram-4, Aslam Chowdhury, has been accused of defrauding families of July Movement martyrs, injured activists, and journalists by issuing 1,200 checks that repeatedly bounced. The checks, each worth 50,000 taka, were distributed on January 7 at an event held at the Institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh (IDEB) auditorium in Dhaka, organized by Chowdhury’s company, JAM Sangstha. Recipients later discovered that the account lacked sufficient funds, and some checks were invalid due to missing signatures.
Victims expressed anger and humiliation, saying they were promised financial honor but faced repeated rejection at banks. Chowdhury reportedly assured them on January 16 that funds would be deposited, but subsequent visits showed only minimal balances. Bank officials confirmed both insufficient funds and signature issues. Victims alleged the event was politically motivated rather than a genuine act of support.
In response, Aslam Chowdhury told Amader Desh that the problem arose from business difficulties and promised full payment by February 10. The report also noted previous allegations of large-scale loan defaults against him involving multiple banks.
