The Bangladesh Army has cautioned the public about the creation of fake social media profiles in the name of Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman, according to the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) media release issued on Wednesday.
The fake profiles are spreading misleading information.
Army officials confirmed that the Army Chief does not have any personal Facebook or other social media accounts, nor does he plan to operate any in the future.
The public and media have been urged not to be misled by such accounts.
Authorities are working to identify those involved in creating and operating these fake profiles, with necessary legal action underway against individuals engaged in such deceptive activities, according to the ISPR.
