“The video shows Hindus demolishing an illegally constructed mosque in Nepal in response to a stone-pelting incident.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show Hindus demolishing a mosque in Nepal. It is from Pakistan and depicts the demolition of Noor Masjid, Daska’s oldest mosque, in the Jaisarwala area of Daska city, Sialkot district, during an anti-encroachment drive. Meanwhile, the communal tensions in southern Nepal in early January 2026 involved vandalism and desecration of a mosque in Dhanusha district in which the mosque was damaged. However, the viral video is unrelated to the unrest in Nepal.
