Bapparaj’s Facebook account hacked, deactivated
Dhallywood actor Bapparaj has deactivated his Facebook account after it was hacked.
The actor said he was forced to do that after the hacker compromised his account and posted controversial statuses on political and religious issues.
He then recovered and deactivated it, and also filed a general diary with Uttara police station on Monday.
‘Not only was my account hacked, but I also found that there are over 10 fake accounts with my name. It’s really embarrassing,’ Bappa said.
The actor requested his fans and friends to avoid these accounts.

Royal Exchange wins theatre of the year
Manchester’s Royal Exchange has been named regional theatre of the year at The Stage Awards.
The venue beat the Chichester Festival Theatre and Northampton’s Royal and Derngate to the honour, reports BBC.
Actress Maxine Peake, who won rave reviews for her role in The Skriker at the theatre last year, collected the award at the London ceremony along with artistic director Sarah Frankcom.
The Almeida Theatre was also named London theatre of the year.
It beat Shakespeare’s Globe and the Barbican for its hit Greeks season, which achieved both critical and box office success as well as a West End transfer of the Oresteia.
The Stage’s editor, Alistair Smith, said the quality of work over the past year had made it ‘really tricky’ for the judges.
The Other Room – Cardiff’s first pub theatre – won fringe theatre of the year – the first venue outside London to win the prize. — BBC
