The incident happened in Tarash Upazila, Sirajganj district, on January 27, 2024. It is not related to religion at all.
We visited newsg24, which published an article on this incident on Jan 31, 2024 with the headline “3 people of the same family were killed in a hurry, the nephew responsible is the victim”. It is very much clear from this article that this incident has nothing to do with any religion.
