DHAKA, April 20, 2026 (BSS) – A fake photo card was circulated naming state minister for power, energy and mineral resources Anindya Islam Amit, according to a ministry official.
State minister's private secretary (deputy secretary) Md Shahidul Islam filed a General Dairy (GD) with Ramna Model Police Station yesterday about spreading misinformation on Facebook in the name of Amit.
“False information is being spread intentionally to tarnish image of the state minister and success of the country's energy sector,” according to the GD.
It demanded that the miscreants involved in the propaganda be identified and brought to justice as soon as possible.
The GD said that a fake 'photocard' using the state minister's photo is being shared from a Facebook group called 'Gen Z (FS Gaming)'.
The photo card quoted Amit saying that he visited at least 10 pumps last night, and there was no crowd or fuel shortage anywhere, it said.
However, the GD said that the state minister did not visit any petrol pump last night and did not make any such statement anywhere.
It said actually, he has been working relentlessly to deal with the impact of the global energy crisis.
“Amit returned to Dhaka yesterday afternoon after inspecting various power and energy infrastructures in Chattogram and Matarbari,” the GD mentioned.
