Gopalpur is a town in Nadia district of the Indian state of West Bengal. This incident is likely to have taken place in Gopalpur, Nadia, West Bengal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/Untitled-2048-x-1127-px-1024x564.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We performed a reverse image search using some frames taken from the video.
