Terrence Arvelle Jackson was reported to be a senior US Army Special Forces officer found dead in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His name has sparked a wide online debate linked to conspiracy theories involving the Narendra Modi assassination plot.

Who Was Terrence Jackson?

Jackson was reportedly a “Command Inspector General” for the 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) of the US Army, with extensive involvement in special operations.

He is said to have served more than 20 years in the US Army, after a prior time in the Army National Guard. Some sources also claim that he joined the US Army in 2006 following three years in the Army National Guard.

What was the full name of Terrence Jackson?

His exact full name when he joined the US Army is reported as Terrence Arvelle Jackson.

What was the Age of Terrence Jackson?

According to several online reports, he was approximately 50 years old at the time of death.

What Happened to Terrence Jackson?

Jackson’s body was reportedly found on 31 August 2025 in Room 808 of the Westin Hotel in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bangladesh police initially suggested natural causes and stated there were no obvious signs of foul play.

However, his extended stay in Bangladesh and senior army status triggered speculation about covert operations and intelligence links. His body was handed over to the US embassy without an autopsy, which raised questions about his role in Bangladesh.

Did Terrence Jackson plan to assassinate Narendra Modi?

There is no credible evidence to support the claim that Jackson attempted to assassinate Narendra Modi, but a viral article asserts that he was on a mission to kill the Indian Prime Minister, the US. Army Special Operations Command publicly denied that the individual in question was missing or deceased.

In short, the assassination allegation remains unverified.

Terrence Jackson’s Connection with Bangladesh

Jackson’s presence in Dhaka drew attention because of the sensitive geopolitical context; his reported role and location raised questions about US intelligence activities in Bangladesh.

Bangladeshi and Indian intelligence sources noted his extended business-trip stay and questioned the nature of his assignments in Bangladesh. 

Veteran Soldier & Special Operations Role

As a senior officer in the 1st Special Forces Command, Jackson was purportedly involved in planning and executing special operations, perhaps in the Asia-Pacific region. 

His role was described as “Command Inspector General,” which suggests oversight of operational readiness and coordination across U.S. Army special forces units. 

Important Disclaimer: Many of the claims around Terrence Jackson, especially links to assassination plots and foreign intelligence operations, are unverified and lean into speculative territory. Readers should treat them with caution.
