Dhaka: In a remarkable display of solidarity, protesting Muslim students are guarding the Dhakeshwari Temple in Dhaka. These students are monitoring the temple premises to ensure its safety and security.

Similarly, the Kali Temple in Sunamganj is under the protective watch of the district president and secretary of the local Shibir group, who are leading efforts to safeguard the site.

Numerous images circulating on social media show Muslim students, including madrasa students, standing guard at temples across Bangladesh. The hashtag #HindusAreSafeInBangladesh has gained traction in response to reports from Indian media alleging attacks on Hindu communities.

An Indian news outlet named Republic also misrepresented videos of Muslim students protecting Hindu temples, falsely suggesting that they were ordinary students guarding against protesting Muslims. This has sparked widespread anger among Bangladeshis, who accuse Indian mainstream media of biased reporting and attempting to spread fear.

There were also claims circulating on social media that protestors had set fire to the house of Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das due to his Hindu faith. These posts suggested that the incident was an example of targeted violence against the Hindu community in Bangladesh. Despite the false claims circulating on social media, an investigation has revealed that the images showing a house being set on fire do not depict the home of Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das. Instead, they show the residence of Mashrafe Mortaza, former cricketer and Member of Parliament representing Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, being vandalized and set ablaze.

New Delhi (PTI): The Union Home Ministry has granted sanction to the Enforcement Directorate to prosecute former Delhi chief minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy linked money laundering case, officials said.

The federal agency has filed a chargesheet against the 56-year-old politician before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court here last year after arresting him in March.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recently granted the required sanction to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for prosecuting Kejriwal under the anti-money laundering law in the Delhi excise policy case, officials said.

The development comes ahead of the Delhi Assembly on February 5.

Kejriwal has been made made an accused in his personal capacity as well as in the capacity of being the national convenor of his political party AAP.

The former chief minister was called the "kingpin and key conspirator" of the Delhi excise "scam" by the ED.

It was alleged that he acted in collusion with Delhi government minister, the AAP leaders and others.

The ED had earlier claimed that AAP, being a political party, is defined as an association or a body of individual citizens of India under the Representation of the People Act and hence it can be categorised as a "company" as contemplated under Section 70 of the PMLA.

As Kejriwal was "in-charge of and responsible" for the said company i.e. AAP during the time of offence, he and his party "shall be deemed guilty" of offences mentioned under the anti-money laundering law and liable to be prosecuted and punished, it had said.

The excise case pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in formulating and executing the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena had recommended a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities. Subsequently, the ED registered a case under the PMLA.

Taking cognisance of a CBI FIR lodged on August 17, 2022, the ED filed its money laundering case on August 22, 2022 to probe the alleged irregularities.
