Claim: Images showing the vandalism of Buddhist statues by Muslims during the ongoing protests in Bangladesh.
Fact-check: Old images of Buddhist statue vandalism are being misattributed to the current protests in Bangladesh - FACTLY
Verdict: these images are all old and are most likely related to the attacks on buddhist temples that occurred in bangladesh in 2012. while there are reports of attacks on minorities during the current unrest in bangladesh, the viral images are not related to these incidents. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
