In a statement issued on Tuesday, it asked the people not to be confused by such claims made in the social media including Facebook.

The statement said: “It (news in social media) quoted imaginary communication between the foreign ministry and Bangladesh high commission in New Delhi.”

“That is completely baseless and ill-motivated.”

It said the foreign ministry, any other ministry or Bangladesh mission abroad had nothing to do with ‘such information’.
