“The video shows West Bengal Police beating Muslims for raising Bangladesh Zindabad slogans.”
What FACTLY found
The video is not related to the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections or any post-poll violence. It is an old video from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, showing clashes during protests linked to the “I Love Muhammad” campaign on 26 September 2025, where police used force to disperse a crowd amid tensions and stone-pelting. We geolocated and identified the location as Aala Hazrat Masjid, Bhoor, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
