BCB files GD against 'fabricated' fixing rumors involving president

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has strongly refuted social media claims alleging that its President, Aminul Islam Bulbul, is under investigation for corruption, labeling the rumors as "entirely unfounded, false, and fabricated."

To combat the spread of this misinformation, the board filed a General Diary with the Mirpur Police Station on Friday evening against the individuals and platforms responsible for circulating the claims.

Earlier on Friday, rumors surfaced on various social media pages suggesting that Alex Marshall, Chair of the BCB's Integrity Unit, was investigating Bulbul for alleged involvement in match-fixing within the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

In a press release issued this evening, the BCB categorically denied these accusations. The statement included a quote from Marshall himself, who dismissed the social media posts as "completely untrue and fabricated allegations."

"The dissemination of such misinformation is a matter of serious concern for the Bangladesh Cricket Board," the statement read. 

"These actions appear to be a deliberate attempt to malign the reputation of the BCB President and undermine the integrity of the board and Bangladesh cricket."

The board confirmed that it has initiated legal measures to identify and penalize those behind the "false narrative."     �"UNB
