Allegations: False Propaganda Linking BNP to Journalist Tuhin’s Murder
Tanvir Siraj accused Sarjis Alam of spreading baseless rumors on Facebook that linked BNP to the brutal killing of journalist Tuhin. Siraj stated,
“অপরাধী চক্রের ভিডিও ধারণ করায় সাংবাদিক তুহিনকে নির্মমভাবে হত্যা করা হয়। কিন্তু এসিপির মুখ্য সংগঠক (উত্তরাঞ্চল) সারজিস আলম না জেনেই ফেসবুকে এই ঘটনায় বিএনপিকে জড়িয়ে নানা অপপ্রচার চালিয়েছেন, যা দলের ভাবমূর্তি নষ্ট করেছে।”
Translation: “Journalist Tuhin was brutally killed for filming a criminal gang. But Sarjis Alam, the chief organizer of the NCP northern region, unknowingly spread false propaganda on Facebook linking BNP to this incident, damaging the party’s reputation.”
