Photo of man killed in land dispute falsely linked to Bangladeshi garment worker protest

After Bangladeshi media reported a protester was killed in garment worker demonstrations demanding a wage hike in November 2026, a photo circulated on social media with a false claim it showed a second man killed in the rallies. The man in the circulating photo was actually killed in an unrelated land dispute in southern Bangladesh over two months before the protests, according to police and the man's family.
