The news of Shawkat Ali Chowdhury’s arrest is not true

A news is being circulated on various online and social media that the country’s wealthy businessman, Md. Shawkat Ali Chowdhury, has been arrested by the DB. It has been seen that no official source, case-related information, or statement of the concerned authorities have been mentioned in those reports. Even no official announcement has been received from any responsible level of the law enforcement agencies in this regard.
However, based on the information obtained after verification, this claim is baseless and untrue. Shawkat Ali Chowdhury himself clearly stated while talking to this reporter that he was not arrested by any law enforcement agency. He said, the news that is being circulated about my arrest or detention has nothing to do with reality. This is a complete rumor and a deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation.
According to media people, verification is very important when publishing news about arrests or major allegations against any individual or corporate leader.
