“The viral video shows a Bajrang Dal rally heading to Kolkata’s Raj Bhavan in connection with the recent violence in Murshidabad, West Bengal.”
What FACTLY found
The video is from a religious rally held on 11 February 2025, at Raigad Fort in Maharashtra as part of the Dharatirth Gadkot campaign led by Sambhaji Bhide of Shri Shiv Pratishthan Hindustan. The event is unrelated to Bajrang Dal or any incident in West Bengal. No credible reports confirm that Bajrang Dal held such a rally.
