“The video shows actor Sanjay Dutt justifying the killing of the Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show actor Sanjay Dutt justifying the killing of Bangladeshi Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das. The footage is from a 2017 press conference held to promote the film Bhoomi and has no connection to the Bangladesh lynching incident that occurred in December 2025. There are no credible media reports of Sanjay Dutt making such a statement. The Hiya AI voice detection tool flagged the audio in the viral clip as digitally manipulated, indicating that it is likely a deepfake.
