“Video of five women fighting with each other over a boyfriend at Sonepur mela, Bihar”
What FACTLY found
This incident in the video was already reported by Punjab Kesari, Ludhiana Kesari and Dainik Bhaskar on 05 October 2022. According to these reports, this video shows a clash between two groups of trangender persons at the Dussehra fair held at Vardhman Maidan, Ludhiana. Though, Dainik Jagran reports it as incident from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, it is evident that this video doesn’t show any recent incident of five women fighting for a boy at Sonepur Mela in Bihar that began in November 2022
