This year, after the verdict of Quader Mollah as a war criminal was announced, a movement called Ganjagaran Manch started across the country demanding the death sentence. When the miscreants killed architect Rajeev Haider, an activist associated with the movement, the Gana Jagran Manch and the supporters of the opposing side started threatening each other. A student of physics department of Chittagong University named Farabi directly wrote on his Facebook status that Imam Rajiv Haider's Janaza was read and it was his duty to kill him. Besides, at that time, the issue of atheists and believers, as well as country politics, the issue of threatening each other among Bangladeshi Facebook users increased at an alarming rate. At the same time, Jamaat Shibir ran rampant across the country on various issues, including the verdict of another defendant accused of war crimes, Allama Delwar Hussain, and a Facebook page called Bansher Kella accused the followers of that page of openly calling for anarchy in the country and ordering the killing of policemen to uproot train lines. was encouraging

Also, the political arena was hot on the atheist issue at that time. Many people complain that a number of bloggers and Facebook users are posting bad comments and sarcastic statuses about Almighty Allah and His Messenger (PBUH).

At the same time, in Ramu, Chittagong, two Facebook users were tagged in an anti-Islamic image, and a religious conflict broke out, while miscreants destroyed the famous Buddhist temple of Ramu.

As a result, the Bangladeshi government was keeping a close eye on Facebook users at that time, but the news agencies investigated the news through the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Home Affairs of the government. The Bangladesh government may have sought information about these 12 Facebook users at that time.
