What FACTLY found

This is an old video. Multiple news articles from 2017 suggest that the video shows students getting expelled back in 2017 for using unfair means in the intermediate examination in Bihar. 162 students were expelled on the first day of the Intermediate examination conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) on 01 February 2021. However, this video has nothing to do with the 2021 incidents.
