Sitting in London, Interpol-wanted convicted terror-funder Shahid Uddin Khan through a post on social media has called upon for attacking Gono Bhaban, the official residence of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and to assassinate her. In his post, this terror-funder has called for sacrificing blood through suicide attacks.
Earlier, Shahid Uddin Khan expressed solidarity with the self-proclaimed killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and termed August 15th, the day Father of the Nation of Bangladesh was brutally assassinated along with other members of his family, as “a day of celebration”.
Under UK law, what Shahid Uddin Khan has been doing by sitting in Britain, he should face serious criminal charges and deported to Bangladesh. Similarly, Facebook authorities should not only remove such posts containing terrorist threats, it should also permanently ban Shahid Uddin Khan from the social media platform.

He also mentioned the named of Ms. Tamsin Bradley, a professor of the aforesaid university as the “supervisor” of his thesis titled ‘Military intervention and its impacts on the democratic process of Bangladesh’.

We have also checked the list of 2021 theses, where we did not find anything from Shahid Uddin Khan or Md. Shahid Uddin Khan. Here is the link:
As the matter seemed to be extremely dubious, we called the telephone number of Professor Tamsin Bradley and also sent her email. Neither the calls were answered, nor the email.
Meanwhile, on condition of anonymity, an official at the University of Portsmouth said, there had been similar allegations of fraudulent claim by a number of individuals stating they have graduated from the university. As those matters were investigated it was revealed that most of the certificates were collected by the false graduates of the University of Portsmouth from online companies selling fake certificates.
