Finance Ministry warns against AI-generated video misusing finance adviser's identity

DHAKA, Nov 16, 2025 (BSS) - The Ministry of Finance has issued an urgent request for public awareness regarding a fraudulent video circulating on social media, specifically Facebook.
 
 The ministry confirmed that an interested group is promoting this fake video or news content for their advertising or promotional purposes.
 
The misleading content utilizes the picture and video of the Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed.
 
The ministry strongly asserted that the statements and information presented in the video have absolutely no connection or involvement with the Ministry of Finance or the Finance Adviser
