According to police, the original post was uploaded onto the 'Awami League Media' Facebook page, with a doctored image depicting the chief adviser to Bangladesh's interim government bowing in front of the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who was forced to flee to India, by a massive student-led uprising in July-August last year.
