“Video of pro-Hindu activists pushing a Muslim woman out of a bus for wearing a Hijab”
What FACTLY found
This video shows an old incident that took place in the Rohitpur area in Keraniganj, Bangladesh. In March 2021, on the Dhaka-Nawabganj Road, a speech-impaired woman was thrown out from a bus for not paying the bus fare. Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) team had immediately arrested the bus driver and cleaner involved in this incident. The video shared in the post is from Bangladesh and has nothing to do with the ongoing Hijab row in India
