“The video shows security personnel firing tear gas shells at TMC workers in West Bengal.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is not from West Bengal. It is from Ima Keithel in Imphal, Manipur, where security forces used tear gas and stun guns to disperse protesters during demonstrations linked to NRC-related demands ahead of the census, leaving a few people injured. The incident is unrelated to TMC workers or West Bengal, as claimed.
