Security has been tightened in and around the High Court premises since last night as the tribunal is set to announce a date for the delivery of verdict in the case filed against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and two others over crimes against humanity.
In a media release issued early Thursday, the DMP urged the public not to be misled by such planned and malicious attempts being made through social media by defeated quarters.
The release said the move appears to be part of a deliberate effort by ill-motivated groups to create confusion among the public about the police’s recent actions to protect lives and property amid incidents of cocktail explosions and arson attacks on vehicles in different parts of the capital.
The DMP also warned that stern legal action will be taken against those involved in producing and disseminating such distorted content.
It also urged social media users to verify the authenticity of any information, photo, audio, or video before sharing it online.
