Claim: Video of Bihar police carrying out a lathi charge on Muslims who were recently protesting against the BJP-supported NDA government in Bihar. Nitish Kumar government is is acting strong on Muslims with the support of BJP.
Fact-check: An old 2015 video is being shared as a current incident of the BJP-supported NDA government in Bihar acting strong on Muslim protestors - FACTLY
Verdict: this video dates back to august 2015 and is related to the madrasa teachers' protest that took place in patna. the visuals in the viral video show bihar police carrying out a lathi charge on the protesting madrasa teachers. it should be noted that in august 2015, nitish kumar was the chief minister of bihar, supported by the congress and rjd, and was not part of the nda. the bjp was neither an ally of the jd nor part of the nitish-led bihar government at that time. in fact, the bjp was in the opposition in august 2015. hence the claim made in the post is false.
