Following the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government and the upsurge in Bangladesh, minority communities faced attacks and violence. However, the head of the interim government, Prof Yunus, issued an appeal to protect all minority communities, including Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists. This appeal had a powerful impact, leading to a halt in attacks, and even the formation of protection teams by Jamat-E-Islami cadres. There were also reports of misinformation and fake news being spread, with one major example being the false news about cricketer Leepan Das's house being set on fire.
