What FACTLY found
The video is not from Bihar. It shows a torchlight rally held on 25 September 2025 in Jaipur, organised by supporters of youth leader Naresh Meena to demand justice for children who died in the Jhalawar school collapse. No credible reports indicate any such torch procession in Bihar.
