At the heart of the trouble is Biplob Chandra Shuvo whose account was used by another man to spread profanity-laced comments, according to Superintendent of Police Sarker Mohammad Kaiser. Earlier, Shuvo went to Borhanuddin Police Station to file a general diary after he discovered that his Facebook account was breached. The man is still in police custody for security reasons. The hacker accessed Shuvo’s Facebook Messenger, a messaging app, and published a screenshot of slanderous comments on social media. The episode mirrors a 2012 incident in Cox's Bazar’s Ramu where a group of people vandalised Buddhist temples and houses over a controversial Facebook post.
