A youth was accorded a warm reception on Saturday where he toured different areas of Kasba Upazila in Brahmanbaria on a motorcade, claiming to be a central executive committee leader of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
In a video he shared on Facebook, Sharfin Reza Dipto was seen waving at people from an SUV, followed by dozens of motorcycles, in Kasba and Akhaura areas. There were people on both sides of the road to welcome him during his stunt.
Doipto posted a video of his apparent paid reception on Facebook profile which says he is a member of BCL central executive body.
His Facebook profile says he is a member of the BCL central executive body.
Dipto is a law student at Bhuiyan Academy. Local BCL leaders alleged that he did not hold any post in any committee of the ruling party's student wing.
Contacted, Dipto told Dhaka Tribune that there was a misunderstanding over the issue and that he was a victim of conspiracy.
BCL central committee General Secretary Lekhak Bhattacharjee confirmed that Dipto was not an assistant secretary of the organization's central executive committee.
