A minute-long video showing scores of men, some with skull caps, breaking down and destroying a structure is being widely shared on social media with the claim that is of Muslims in Bangladesh demolishing a Hindu temple.<\/p>\n

The allegations and video have surfaced amid several instances of communal attacks on minority communities in the country, including Hindus. The unrest, which started off as protests against former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, have not died down even after a new government was formed under the leadership of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.<\/p>\n

The video was posted by X user Tathvam-asi (@ssaratht<\/a>), who has a verified account, claiming “Izlamists (Islamists) are attacking and vandalising Hindu houses, Hindu Temples and Hindu establishments”. At the time of writing this, the post had over 25,000 views and was shared over 1,000 times. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Soon, others, such as ‘Kreately’ (@KreatelyMedia<\/a>), reshared the video. Kreately’s post added that while Hindus line up for “Made in Bangladesh” goods, “Sunni Bangladeshis” are destroying sacred Hindu spaces. (Archive<\/a>) The post was eventually deleted. Alt News has, several times in the past, fact-checked and debunked false claims by this X account (see this<\/a>, this<\/a> and this<\/a>) and extensively investigated the misinformation<\/a> shared on its website.<\/p>\n

Another X user (@ajaychauhan41<\/a>) posted the video, adding that the “whole world is silent on the genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh.” (Archive<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jitendra Pratap Singh (@jpsin1<\/a>), a verified X user followed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on X, posted a slightly longer version of the viral video.
