“The video shows illegal Bangladeshis leaving West Bengal after the SIR announcement.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show illegal Bangladeshis leaving West Bengal after the SIR announcement. It actually captures the Kali idol immersion at Funkatala village (Shikarpur) in Nadia district on the banks of the Mathabhanga River. Local police confirmed the video’s location, and West Bengal Police also stated that the viral claim is fake.
