Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology Adviser Nahid Islam sought cooperation of government secretaries to prevent 'unethical activities' by persons exploiting his name or claiming to be his relatives to seek favours in various offices.
Earlier on 24 December 2024, Nahid reportedly sent a letter to secretaries of various ministries and departments.
However, The Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) has denied the renewal application of Kamrul Hasan Khandaker for the post of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position at Jamuna Life Insurance Company , following his educational certificates proven fraudulent.
Despite the facts , Kamrul Hasan allegedly resorted to forgery to retain the role.
In his latest application to IDRA, he submitted a fake recommendation letter approved by Posts, Telecommunications, Information Technology, and Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md Nahid Islam.
The letter , according to media reports bore a forged signature of the adviser, using an English signature and seal that were not found to be authentic.
Kamrul Hasan's renewal application, filed on November 7, 2023, cited an MBA degree obtained via distance learning in 2002 from a Deemed University in Uttar Pradesh, India. However, on December 6, he submitted two additional certificates from Ibais University, claiming a Bachelor of Social Science (BSS) degree in 2019 and an MBA in 2021.
IDRA required proof of equivalency for the foreign MBA and validation of the IBAIS University certificates from the University Grants Commission (UGC).
Kamrul Hasan failed to provide any such documentation.
In December 2024, Kamrul Hasan submitted a new application, coupled with a recommendation letter purportedly from Adviser Nahid Islam.
Investigations revealed the letter's signature was forged.
Ministry officials clarified that Adviser Nahid Islam exclusively signs in Bengali, and the forged signature was in English.
