Several Right-wing X (formerly Twitter) handles have shared a 2.15-minute video claiming that it shows the harassment and physical assault of a Hindu teacher in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Numerous incidents of targeted attacks on Hindus<\/a> have been reported from the neighbouring country in the wake of the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government on August 5. The video is being circulated in that context.<\/p>\n

The video shows several men heckling an older man. They first staple what appears to be cigarette packets to his shirt collar, then make him drink from a glass and finally pour something from a bottle on him. A commentator then appears in the video and states that the man being heckled is Gautam Pal, a popular teacher of mathematics from Azimpur Girls’ College, who was forced to resign. The video ends abruptly with the commentator claiming Hindu teachers were being targeted.<\/p>\n

Vice-president of ISKCON Kolkata Radharaman Das<\/a> (@RadharamnDas), who shares communal disinformation on a regular basis<\/a>, amplified the video with the same claim.<\/p>\n

Another Hindu teacher in Bangladesh has been insulted by Muslim students he once taught and was forced to resign. Every day, thousands of Hindus in Bangladesh are being pressured to sign resignation letters. Their aim is to remove all 2.5 million Hindus working in Bangladesh.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/g4NyjnHfpp<\/a><\/p>\n
