Fact-check<\/span><\/h4>\n

The people seen in the video are speaking in Bangla. Using this as a clue, Alt News performed a keyword search on YouTube. This led us to a Times Now report dated August 6, 2022, which contains scenes from the viral video. According to this report, a scuffle broke out between Trinamool Congress and BJP workers on August 5 in West Bengal\u2019s Hooghly district. TMC MLA Asit Mazumdar alleged that BJP supporters stopped his vehicle and attacked him. Meanwhile, BJP workers claimed that Asit Mazumdar attacked them during his rally.<\/span><\/p>\n
