Claim: Video showing a Muslim mob lynching and killing a Hindu man in public in Bangladesh.
Fact-check: Video of Awami League leader Shahidul Islam Hiran's dead body hanging from a statue is being shared with a false communal narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: the video does not show a hindu man being hung by a mob in bangladesh. instead, it shows dead body of shahidul islam hiran, the chairman of the porahati union and general secretary of the jhenaidah sadar upazila awami league, hanging from a statue. according to reports, on 05 august 2024, following bangladesh's pm hasina's resignation, a vengeful mob assaulted shahidul islam hiran and killed him. later, his body was hung from a sculpture at paira chattar in the jhenaidah city center. hence the claim made in the post is false.
