Allegations of threatening a journalist and politically tagging him have been raised against Jahangirnagar University Professor Dr. Nahreen Islam Khan following the publication of a news report. On September 22, 2026, a news article titled “JU Syndicate Member Nomination: Allegations of using former students’ signatures without permission in statement supporting Nahreen” was published on the online news outlet Dhaka Stream. Following the publication of that news, journalist Abdul Muttalib Nabil faced pressure to retract the news, was politically tagged, and was labeled as part of an “organized syndicate.”
