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.

Mangaluru (Karnataka), May 12 (PTI): A total of 504 vehicle owners were penalised in Dakshina Kannada district for using illegal sun control films and tinted glasses, with Rs 2.53 lakh collected as fines, the police said on Monday after a special enforcement drive.
The operation was carried out across 10 traffic police station limits in the district on Sunday, they added.
According to a police statement, personnel removed black films and unauthorised tints from vehicles on the spot and issued challans to the violators.
The action follows Supreme Court guidelines prohibiting opaque films that reduce visibility and pose public safety risks.
The crackdown will continue in the coming days, and vehicle owners have been advised to comply with traffic safety norms, the statement added.
