“A video of a boy kicking schoolgirls in a hijab shows the 'new normal' for extremists in BJP-ruled India.”

Multiple independent fact-checking organizations, including The Quint, Vishvas News, and Only Fact, have investigated the viral video showing a boy kicking schoolgirls. Their investigations confirmed that the incident took place in Kanchpur, Sonargaon, Narayanganj, Bangladesh, and not in India. The video features a minor boy misbehaving with students from Kanchpur Umar Ali High School. Local Bangladeshi media, such as Jagonews24 and Prothom Alo, reported on the incident, noting that the boy involved was later held accountable through local disciplinary measures. The claim made by social media user Jaspinder Kaur Udhoke, which attempted to link the video to political conditions in India under the BJP, is entirely unsupported by the facts and misrepresents the geographic and social context of the footage.
