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.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
