connection with the State Minister.

The release mentioned that the event also referred to an alleged incident 
involving a student of the University of Dhaka at Suhrawardy Udyan.

whatsoever with the event and termed it a rumour aimed at creating confusion.

misleading content circulated on social media.

vigilant against rumours and false propaganda, the release added.
