Claim: Video showing a mob attacking a BJP leader amid the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
Fact-check: 2019 video of a mob attacking a BJP leader in West Bengal shared as a recent incident amidst the 2024 Lok Sabha elections - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video dates back to november 2019 and originates from west bengal. it depicts a mob attack on jay prakash majumdar, who was a bjp leader at that time and the bjp's candidate in the karimpur assembly by-poll. jay prakash majumdar was suspended by the bjp in january 2022, and later, he joined the trinamool congress  in march 2022. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
