What is evident that Taskin was convicted because of this photoshop by an unknown fan. Indians taking this non issue to a new level.
Your point-view is also reflected in the article in The Daily Star. An excerpt is below:

This is not cricket. Or, is it?
.............The desire of the Indians to beat us (in cricket), their eagerness to prove a point after losing the last ODI series, and that their arch rivals Pakistan had upped us by only two runs in the previous Asia Cup final 2012, were reasons they could not hide even behind the giant placard that read 'Champion'.
As two national teams fight it out in the middle, opposing fans are caught in the frenzy of the rivalry. The bloodless confrontation continues long after the winning teamsters have uprooted the stumps, not without a battle cry, the sweat on their faces the war paint.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bangladesh trails India significantly in head-to-head encounters, which some would attribute to India's longer time on the crease of international cricket, but fuelled by the ascending form of the Tigers that led to a recent ODI series defeat of the neighbours and the acerbic 'mauka mauka' campaign, the rivalry (at least among the fans) has never been stronger. While this competition is generally positive for the game and the people of both countries, the stance of some overzealous followers of both the teams, particularly on the social media, would be no-balled by any umpire.
The game of cricket had perhaps lost its stamp of gentleness…………
