“The videos show a differently-abled Muslim man being harassed by a biker in Jharkhand.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show a real incident; it is a scripted video created by YouTuber Muklesur Bhaijaan, who uploads riding vlogs and scripted content. The same elderly man has appeared in other similar videos. The characters in the video speak Bengali, and the passing vehicles have WB (West Bengal) registration plates. Additionally, Muklesur Bhaijaan’s Facebook page indicates that he is from West Bengal, making it unlikely that the incident took place in Jharkhand.
