Intro
Tipsters have messaged me on twitter and are alleging that PRAN-RFL Group in Bangladesh is owned by a Qadiani-Ahmadi named Amjad Khan Chowdhury (10 November 1939 – 8 July 2015). His father was an inspector general of police and a former general secretary of Ahmadiyya Jamaat Bengal. His grandfather, Khan Bahadur Abul Hashim Khan Chowdhery, was a former Amir of Ahmadiyya Jamaat Bengal who translated several Ahmadiyya texts into the English language and was buried at the Bahishti Maqbara in Qadian.

PRAN-RFL Group (Bengali: প্রাণ-আরএফএল গ্রুপ) is a Bangladeshi conglomerate, founded in 1981 by Amjad Khan Chowdhury. It is one of the largest conglomerates in Bangladesh Pran-RFL Group is headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and employs over 1,00,000 people worldwide making it the largest employer brand in the country. The group operates under several subsidiaries, including Pran Foods, RFL Plastics, Pran-RFL Healthcare, and many others.
