West Bengal Police urges caution amid fake news and tensions following Sheikh Hasina's resignation
Kolkatta: In light of recent developments in Bangladesh, the West Bengal Police have issued a public advisory urging citizens to exercise caution regarding social media content. The advisory follows the resignation and subsequent flight of Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled the country amid escalating political tensions. In the aftermath, a wave of fake news and misleading posts have spread across social media, falsely suggesting widespread attacks on Hindu communities in Bangladesh.
The police tweet stated: "Given the current situation in neighbouring Bangladesh, we have noticed a few posts and videos on social media that may create discord and unrest. Please do not pay attention to rumours, do not share provocative videos, do not step into a fake news trap." The message further emphasized that the state administration is "alert and vigilant," urging the public to "keep calm and maintain peace."
The state administration is alert and vigilant. Keep calm and maintain peace. (2/2)

This advisory comes amidst a series of unverified reports and videos circulating online, claiming that Hindu temples and communities in Bangladesh are under attack. However, these reports have been widely debunked, with many on the ground, including Muslim students and leaders, actively safeguarding temples across the country.
