Allegation of spreading propaganda over biil payment denied in Lakshmipur
Lakshmipur Correspondent
Ifte Khairul Islam, a Deputy Assistant Engineer with the Bangladesh Power Development Board, has denied allegations of irregularity regarding an electricity bill payment, claiming a viral social media video is being used to deliberately spread misinformation and humiliate him socially.
Addressing the controversy over a video that surfaced online on November 10, 2026, the official clarified the events of April 7, 2026. He stated that when a customer, Md. Abu Taher, came to pay a Tk 3,000 electricity bill, he directed staff member Md. Shahadat Hossain to deposit the cash into the bank rather than taking it directly. The money was deposited, and a bank receipt was handed over to the customer and preserved in official records.
Engineer Ifte Khairul urged the public and media to refrain from sharing misleading content without verifying the actual facts and the bank deposit documentation.
