बांग्लादेश के मुसलमान खिलाड़ी साकिब अल हसन और उसकी पत्नी ने अपने शहर में एक मस्जिद बनवाई जिसमें लगभग 90 लाख रुपए का खर्चा आया। इस खर्चे को पूरा शाकिब अल हसन ने अपनी जेब से दिया या अल्लाह इस के नेक इरादों को पूरा करें🤲🤲🤲

Fact-check

Alt News performed a keyword search on Google and did not find any reports corroborating the viral claim. Moreover, the supposed picture of the mosque is actually a railway station in Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine. There are several photos of this station on Google.

‘Iuic.info‘, which contains information on different cities, has shared a picture of this railway station. It closely resembles the viral photo.

Using Google Street View, we were able to confirm this picture is Ukraine’s Kharkiv Railway Station.
