Claim: Muslims in Bangladesh set fire to a Hindu farmer's paddy crop.
Fact-check: The incident of a Muslim farmer's paddy crop set on fire in Bangladesh is falsely shared as that of a Hindu farmer - FACTLY
Verdict: the victim farmer is a muslim, identified as nasim mia, not a hindu. the incident occurred on the morning of 05 december 2024 in piarpur lakshmipur village, sadar upazila, bangladesh. nasim mia, who had leased one and a half bighas of land, reported that someone burned his stored paddy bundles using petrol. additionally, bangladeshi fact-checker clarified that the arson in kushtia's rice field was falsely portrayed as an attack on a hindu farmer. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
