“The video shows Muslims burning down Hindu houses and properties in West Bengal.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is not from West Bengal but from Kayenkola village in Dogachi Union, Pabna district, Bangladesh, where a Muslim place of worship was attacked and vandalised on 22 March 2025 over allegations of indecent activities. While it is true that Hindu houses were vandalised during the April 2025 violence in Murshidabad, West Bengal, this video is unrelated to those events.
