Azizur Rahman, a rickshaw-puller who was detained from Dhanmondi 32 area on August 15, was not shown arrested in any murder case, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
After his arrest, he was produced before a court on August 16 as a suspect in a case filed at Dhanmondi Police Station in April, according to a DMP media release signed by Talebur Rahman, deputy commissioner (media).
Different social media platforms were found spreading misinformation regarding his arrest and the nature of the case which has come to the attention of DMP, the media release said.

Azizur was produced before a court as a suspect in a regular case under the Penal Code.
Misinformation is being spread that the rickshaw-puller was sent to court in connection with a murder case, but this claim is entirely false and misleading.
DMP also requested all to refrain from spreading confusion regarding the matter.
