Another X user, Parmanand Azamgarhi (@parmanandyadavv), whose bio states that he is the national secretary of Samajwadi Party chatra sabha, also posted the same clip on November 26 and mentioned in the caption: “Sanatani people are mistreating women of other religions, especially Muslim women, and no action is being taken against these people. The Constitution grants equality to everyone.”
This post has received more than 370,000 views so far and has been reposted over 1,800 times.
Several other users posted the viral clip with the claim that it is an incident in India. Below is another example:
Fact Check
On taking a close look at the video, we noticed an advertisement board with text written in Bengali script. We noticed that the board said, “Madrasatul Ehsan Al-Islamia”, and the fourth and fifth lines said, “In the academic year 2024” and “Admissions open”.
On running a Google search, we found an educational institution by the same name in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We went through the institution’s Facebook page, and the address on the page said, “83/1, Road – 2, Kalyanpur, Mirpur, Bangladesh”. This shows that the institution is based in Bangladesh, which indicates that the location of the viral clip is Bangladesh, not India.
Additionally, it should be also noted the last frame of the video shows a vehicle passing by which has ‘Energypac JAC’ written on its front panel.
JAC Motors is an automobile major from China. Their vehicles are not available in Indian markets. Enerygpac, on the other hand, is a Bangladeshi company that is the sole distributor of JAC Motors in the Bangladeshi market. If one looks more closely, the number plate of the vehicle can be seen written in Bengali. Though not very clear, one can discern the word ‘মেট্রো’ (Metro) written on it. Compare that with the image of a blue JAC truck from Dhaka in the photo below, which is a screengrab from a YouTube video uploaded by Dhaka Mirpur Motors.
Therefore, it is clear that the viral video is from Bangladesh and not from India. The claims that the video shows an attack on a Muslim in India is false.
