Earlier, on November 10, a series of images and videos were circulated on social media in connection with the nationwide strike called by the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League. A fact-check report by Prothom Alo stated that some of these contents showed torch processions, while others depicted blockades of highways and railway lines, and even arson attacks on police vehicles. Additionally, some posts claimed deaths, while others showed videos of train fires and motorcycle rallies.However, verification revealed that many of these images and videos were old. Some were from recent but unrelated incidents. Furthermore, a video created using artificial intelligence (AI) was also circulated, falsely claiming that millions of people had taken to the streets to bring back Sheikh Hasina to the country.
