Prothom Alo recent report on law & order untrue, flawed: CA press wing
Prothom Alo, a leading Bengali daily, published a front page news story on November 2 claiming that murders, muggings and banditry sharply increased in Dhaka in September and October was untrue and dangerously flawed, the Chief Adviser press wing said in a statement today.
The statement was posted on the verified Facebook page of CA press wing - CA Press Wing Facts.
Prothom Alo claimed that 192 people were killed in Dhaka in the last two months, while at least 21 of them were killed in Dhaka Mohammadpur.
"This news is untrue. It is also dangerously flawed and poorly fact-checked. It gives the impression that lawlessness has increased sharply in Dhaka immediately after the glorious mass student-led uprising in July and August," the statement read.
