When we examined this Facebook page, we found that the viral video was posted on this page on November 5. Its caption reads \u2018Bhinna prakriti ekjon manush\u2019 in Bangla, meaning a man with a different nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alt News found a statement posted on this page on <\/span>December 9<\/span><\/a> by its admin Mahbub Afridi. In this video, he states that some people in India were spreading the misinformation that he had converted a Hindu monk to Islam, whereas in reality it was not the case. He clarified that he helped people living on the streets without discriminating on the basis of religion.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also came across the full-length video from which the viral clip was uploaded on October 28, 2024 on a YouTube channel named Street Humanity of Bangladesh run by Mahbub Afridi. In this video it can be seen that his team cut the hair of the elderly man, bathed him and also dressed him in clean clothes. There are many videos on this YouTube channel in which he is seen helping the homeless and in many of these, his team has given haircuts to the mentally challenged and street dwellers and provided them with clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n
