In the turbulent lead-up to the August 2024 regime change in Bangladesh—culminating in the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the installation of an interim administration under Muhammad Yunus—another, less visible battle was unfolding: a coordinated war of narratives.

Years before the political transition, a series of provocative and often unverifiable claims began surfacing through an India-based outlet, Northeast News, primarily authored by Chandan Nandy. These reports, amplified within selective circles, sought to construct a parallel version of events—one built less on verifiable facts and more on insinuation, conjecture, and strategic disinformation.

That pattern has intensified. Since August 2026, Northeast News has been publishing a serialized set of articles by a little-known figure, Enayet Kabir—introduced as a “political and economic analyst”, yet with no identifiable professional footprint beyond this single platform. A closer examination raises an unavoidable question: are these writings genuine analysis, or part of a broader effort to rewrite the narrative surrounding one of Bangladesh’s most consequential political turning points?

Three years before the August 2024 regime change in Bangladesh—which culminated in the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the installation of an interim administration under Muhammad Yunus—two names began drawing attention within media and intelligence circles: Chandan Nandy and the India-based outlet Northeast News.

Through a series of articles carrying explosive and often unverifiable claims, the platform steadily positioned itself as a source of “insider narratives”. On August 12, 2026, Nandy published yet another report alleging that a Dhaka-based textile firm had entered into a “suspicious defense partnership” with Pakistani agents—an assertion that immediately raised eyebrows due to its lack of substantiation.

Since that date, Northeast News has also begun publishing a serialized set of articles by an individual identified as Enayet Kabir, described as a “political and economic analyst”. However, a basic verification check reveals a striking anomaly: Kabir’s entire professional footprint appears confined exclusively to this platform. There is no record of his work in any credible journalistic, academic, or policy forum, raising serious questions about authorship, credibility, and intent.
