“The video shows Jyoti Malhotra being assaulted by people when she appeared for a court hearing.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is unrelated to Jyoti Malhotra. It shows a woman being assaulted in Dhanmondi, Bangladesh, on 06 February 2025, during protests against the demolition of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence. Multiple Bangladeshi media outlets confirm the video’s origin and incident. Meanwhile, Jyoti Malhotra was arrested on 17 May 2025 in Hisar and produced in court on 22 and 26 May 2025, but no reports of her assault were found.
