Several posts being shared on social media recently claiming that former MP Shirin Akhter’s son Amit Manoshiz was seen during the chief adviser’s recent meeting with students is found false, fact-checkers said.
In the photo claiming Amit sitting beside Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant Mahfuj Alam was actually CA’s Deputy Press Secretary Apurba Jahangir.
Talking to UNB, Apurba also confirmed that he was actually sitting beside Mahfuj Alam and the photo went viral on social media.
“I was the person wearing the white shirt next to Mahfuj Alam that day.”
Factchecking organisation Fact-watch also confirmed the social media claim as “false.”
As Apurba is a former student of University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, the university teachers have also confirmed this.
