The Daily Star report was totally based on the press release issued by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Customs Excise and VAT. The Daily Star contacted Banglalink authorities, informed them about the contents of the press release by the VAT authorities and asked for their comments. But most of the officials did not comment and some said that they would need 24 to 48 hours to give reaction.
