Businessman Asif Mahmud has threatened to file a lawsuit against Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) over alleged defamation. Mahmud is demanding a public apology within 24 hours for perceived damage to his reputation. He specifically requests the retraction of news reports citing the ACC as the source of damaging information. The threat stems from reports published based on information attributed to the anti-corruption body. Mahmud believes these reports have negatively impacted his standing. He has not yet specified the exact nature of the defamatory claims or the details of the potential lawsuit. The ACC has not yet responded to the ultimatum.
