The accompanying caption states, \u201cNo matter how talented you may be, you will only be recognized by your caste\u201d. In other words, social media users are alleging that the man in the video is being discriminated against due to his caste.

This led us to a video report covering the incident by Bangladeshi news channel My TV Bangladesh dated December 27, 2022. The outlet mentions in the title that a bodybuilder was seen kicking his award and describing the federation as \u2018thieves\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to My TV Bangladesh, Jahid Hasan Shuvo, a Bangladeshi bodybuilder, threw and kicked his award several times after getting second place in a competition. Following the outburst, the Bangladesh Bodybuilding Federation (BABBF) called a meeting and imposed a lifetime ban on Shuvo. Criticizing the move, the bodybuilder took to social media and called the federation \u2018thieves\u2019. The report also mentions that netizens were divided on the bodybuilder\u2019s actions, with some coming out in support, and others expressing their disapproval.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BsAmEniqamM]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alt News noticed that Indian media outlets also covered this incident from Bangladesh.
