Shamsul Haque Chowdhury (Bengali: শামসুল হক চৌধুরী) (born 20 July 1957) is a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a former Member of Parliament from Chittagong-12.
In April 2008, before the elections of Bangladesh Football Federation, he filed a motion challenging the candidacy of Ashraf Uddin Ahmed Chunnu, Golam Rabbani Helal, and Kazi Salahuddin.
[17] Chowdhury told the Prothom Alo that if the youth weren't allowed to play cards they would mug people and expressed anger over the raids by law enforcement agencies.
[18] Khorshed Alam Sujan, Vice President of Chittagong Awami League, said that Chowdhury was an "infiltrator" who had previously elected ward commissioner on a Jatiya Party nomination in the 1980s.
[22] On 19 October 2019, Anti-Corruption Commission announced that it was investigating Chowdhury and a few other Awami League politicians on corruption allegation and involvement with the illegal casino operations.
However, disclosing information in the media at the initial stage of an investigation without determining its veracity causes respectable persons in society to suffer social, political, and family embarrassment.
