“The video shows a bulldozer, operated by the Delhi Municipal Corporation and PWD, demolishing a rickshaw as a visibly distressed rickshaw driver cries and tries to save it.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show a demolition carried out by Delhi local municipal authorities. Instead, it depicts a Dhaka North City Corporation operation in Bangladesh targeting illegal battery-run rickshaws. This incident took place in Dhaka, and the affected drivers received compensation following public outcry. The video is unrelated to India.
