“The video shows atrocities against students in Bangladesh for wearing Indian clothes and not keeping beards.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show atrocities against students in Bangladesh for wearing Indian clothes and not keeping beards. It actually shows a symbolic protest held in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, where cultural activists recreated a recent incident of forcible hair cutting to condemn attacks on shrine culture and artists. The protest followed an earlier case in which a Fakir had his hair and beard forcibly cut before Eid al-Adha.
