What FACTLY found

The photo was taken in 2014 when an angry mob in Kaliabazar, West Bengal beat up three men on the suspicion of raping a seven-year-old girl. It has nothing to do with different religious communities. One man in the photo lying naked was Ratan Das, a local tantric and the other two were his friends. There is no mention of TMC leaders in the news articles published about the incident

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

In short

This claim spread on social media around 27 July 2021. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 10 August 2021, 14 days later. Its rating was “FALSE”.
