The claims made in the tweet from Visegrad24 about ongoing ethnic violence in Bangladesh, specifically that Islamists have set a Hindu business on fire, require careful context checking. Recent reports indicate that Bangladesh has indeed experienced significant unrest following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, which led to widespread protests and violence. However, many of the claims circulating on social media about targeted violence against Hindus have been found to be false or misleading. For instance, a DW fact check revealed that viral images and videos purportedly showing attacks on Hindu temples and businesses were either old, taken out of context, or manipulated. Similarly, claims about the house of Hindu cricketer Liton Das being set on fire were debunked; the house actually belonged to former cricketer Mashrafe Mortaza, a Muslim and a member of the ruling party. Additionally, allegations of sexual violence against Hindu women have also been proven false, with many such claims being traced back to unrelated incidents in other regions or countries. Therefore, while there is genuine unrest in Bangladesh, the specific claim about Islamists setting a Hindu business on fire lacks verified evidence and appears to be part of a broader pattern of misinformation aimed at inflaming ethnic tensions.
