Erstwhile Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who led the country for 15 years, resigned from her position and left the country<\/a> along with her sister on August 5, minutes before protesters stormed her official residence<\/a>, the Ganabhaban.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of this, allegations of violence against the Hindu minority in Bangladesh are doing the rounds on social media. In one such post, an image of a house on fire is being widely shared with the claim that ‘Islamists’ in Bangladesh had set fire to the house of Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das, who is a Hindu by faith.<\/p>\n
