TAREK HOSEN and ABDULLAH HEL BUBUN

Over the past few days, multiple accounts affiliated with the Awami League have circulated two videos on social media, presenting the footage as showing recovered bodies of Chhatra League leaders after they were murdered and dumped in the Turag river.

Tagged with labels such as “Turag Tragedy” and “Turag Massacre”, the viral videos are graphic -- one shows rows of bodies in a roadside ditch, while the other depicts a body floating in a river.

But a fact check by The Daily Star found that neither video is linked to the Turag river. In fact, one was from a tragic road crash a month ago, while the other, though recent, was taken from the Surma river.
