Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested five persons on charges of opening fake accounts on Facebook in the name of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her family members and national leaders.

They have been spreading rumours and false propaganda using the fake accounts and also used the accounts to extort money through fraudulence.

Mizanur Rahman, Senior Assistant Director of RAB headquarters (legal and media wing), on Thursday morning confirmed the matter to Jago News.
