DHAKA, March 4, 2025 (BSS) - Police today called upon all not to post any sensitive thing
like robberies on the social media without proper verification.
The Dhaka District Police in a statement tonight made the appeal following a post of a fake
dacoity in social media in South Keraniganj.
The statement said that a Facebook status from an ID with the profile name ‘Mdsulaiman
mridha’ and the Facebook page link https:/www.facebook.com/mdsulaiman. mridha.3 has
come to the notice of police. The post claimed that a robbery had taken place at a house in
South Keraniganj area, which was found fake in police investigation.
To verify the accuracy of the incident, Additional Superintendent of Police Jahangir Alam
(BP-8814166281), Keraniganj Circle, Dhaka, visited the scene.
During the inspection, it was learnt from local people that the owner of the house shouted
"robber, robber" between 01.30-02.00 am on Monday night and called over national
emergency number 999.
Later, in front of the people, the owner of the house opened the collapsible gate and it was
found that everything in the room was fine and no robbery had taken place.
"The situation that arose was humorous. A call has been made to give post on the social
media/mass media about sensitive incidents like robberies through fact-checking," the
statement said.
