“The video shows a Hindu sadhu being compelled to convert to Islam in Bangladesh.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show a Hindu sadhu being compelled to convert to Islam in Bangladesh. It was posted by Mahbub Sorker, a content creator running a voluntary organisation for destitute people. Additionally, Mahbub dismissed the claims calling them fake propaganda stating that he supports destitute and mentally ill individuals on the streets, regardless of their religion.
