“The video shows BJP workers in Bihar being beaten up and chased away by women while distributing vermilion (sindoor) after the success of Operation Sindoor in 2025.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video dates back to October 2020, and shows an incident that took place during the Bihar Assembly Elections. It shows the BJP candidate from Kudhni, Kedar Prasad Gupta, being opposed by villagers in Muzaffarpur. Women and locals reportedly expressed anger over poor development work, abused the campaigners, tore down posters, and asked them to leave. The incident has no connection to Operation Sindoor, which occurred in May 2025.
