Kamal added: “Police arrested two people with alleged links to the hacking and Facebook account user.”

The local SP said that a rally was staged in this regard and later two or three hundred people swooped on police after the rally.

Earlier on Sunday, violence erupted in Bhola killing four people and wounding around hundred others centering a screenshot from a Facebook account user Biplob Chandra Shuvo (actual name is Biplop Chandra Baidya).

Biplob Chandra Baidya claimed that his account was used by a hacker to spread profanity-laced comments, according to Superintendent of Police of Bhola Sarker Mohammad Kaiser.
