An image showing a fire at Bangladeshi cricketer Mashrafe’s house was falsely circulated using claims that Bangladeshi Hindu cricketer Liton Das’ house was targeted and set on fire

The claims that an image showing a fire at Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das' house were circulated falsely. The image actually depicts the house of former Bangladeshi cricket captain and current MP Mashrafe Mortaza, which was set on fire amidst political unrest following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Multiple sources, including The Quint, Hindustan Times, and Dawn, confirm that the house set on fire belonged to Mashrafe Mortaza, not Liton Das. The misinformation appears to have been spread on social media, potentially to incite religious tensions by falsely claiming that a Hindu cricketer's house was targeted. This context checking reveals that the image was misrepresented, and the actual incident involved a prominent political figure's residence being attacked during a period of significant civil unrest in Bangladesh.
