Claim
AajTak Bangla recently aired a report on their YouTube channel (uploaded May 3, 2025) alleging that Bangladesh’s interim government head, CA Dr. Muhammad Yunus, was photographed shaking hands with Pakistani generals. The report, which questioned the identity of these “Pakistani Army officers,” was titled with a query. This claim subsequently spread across social media platforms. See posts here.
Newschecker verified the claim and found it to be false.
Fact
Reverse image searches confirmed that the video, falsely presented as showing Pakistani generals with Dr. Muhammad Yunus, is actually from the inauguration of ‘Bangladesh Police Week 2025.’ A similar video with the title ‘CA at the inaugural ceremony of Bangladesh Police Week 2025’ was found on Bangla Vision’s official YouTube channel, corroborating this finding. See the video here- BanglaVision News.
Multiple mainstream media outlets have confirmed that the officers depicted in the khaki uniforms are members of the Bangladesh Police, not Pakistani generals, contradicting the initial false telecast. See reports here- Daily Amar Desh, Somoy TV.
