An old photo of a cannabis farm raided by Bangladesh police in 2020 has resurfaced in social media posts that altered the image to include a signboard falsely linking the site to the ruling Awami League party. The signboard falsely claims the farm was named after Bangladesh’s founder the father of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and supplies to members of the ruling party. Local police told AFP they did not find any such signboard during the 2020 operation.
