Claim: Videos show an Islamist mob attacking a village in Murshidabad, Sherpur District, Bangladesh destroying Hindu homes, crops, and looting livestock.
Fact-check: Videos showing an attack on Darbar Sharif in Bangladesh are shared with a false communal narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: the incident in the video occurred on 26 november 2024 in sherpur, bangladesh. the attack followed accusations from local madrasa teachers and residents that the darbar was involved in anti-islamic activities. around 400-500 people stormed the site, causing damage to property and fences. clashes broke out when caretakers and devotees protested, resulting in several injuries and one fatality. this attack was not related to violence against the hindu community but was result of clashes between two groups within the muslim community. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
