Miscreants attacked the houses of Awami League-backed ministers, MPs and supporters soon after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left Bangladesh. In this incident, the house of former cricketer Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, MP of Narail-2 Constituency was attacked and burnt.
But an ‘X’ account called ‘Hindutva Night’ spread rumors that the house of orthodox cricketer Liton Das had been set on fire. His post was viewed by 1.1 million people. 5 thousand 882 people reported, 811 people commented, 19 thousand 600 people liked and 1 thousand 115 people bookmarked.
Although later several media in India highlighted the real incident. But pictures and videos of Mashrafe’s house burning in the name of Liton Das went viral on social media. Many people strongly condemned the matter on social media. He made negative comments about the people of Bangladesh.
‘The Economic Times of India’ wrote in their headline, ‘Liton Das, Bangladesh cricketer’, house set on fire by protesters? Here is the truth behind viral videos. (Did protesters set fire to the house of Bangladesh cricketer Liton Das? The truth behind the viral video).’
Pakistan’s Dawn, however, does something different. They wrote in the title, ‘Fact check: Mashrafe Mortaza’s house was burnt in Bangladesh protests, not Liton Das’s.
