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.
