“The video shows a TMC worker’s fake injuries being exposed on camera during a media interaction on post-election violence in West Bengal.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is unrelated to post-poll violence in West Bengal. The journalist who recorded the video confirmed to Factly that it was filmed on 28 April 2026 at Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, and shows a clash involving hospital staff and patients’ attendants. The woman seen in the video is a hospital staff member, not a TMC worker.
