“Video of illegal immigrants fleeing West Bengal after CM Suvendu Adhikari warned migrants to leave”
What FACTLY found
This video has been available on the internet since 6 January 2026, prior to the formation of a BJP government in West Bengal. The video depicts crowds related to the Biswa Ijtema, a Muslim religious gathering held in the Hooghly district in January 2026. Although media reports state that hundreds of illegal immigrants began heading towards Bangladesh following the formation of a BJP government in Bengal, this video is unrelated to those developments.
