Claim: Recent Hijab Row – Video of a woman setting herself ablaze in an attempt to burn the hijab.
Fact-check: A decade-old self-immolation video of a teacher in Punjab is being shared linking it to the ongoing hijab row. - FACTLY
Verdict: this is a more than a decade old video wherein a woman teacher in kapurthala, punjab immolated herself demanding enhancement of marks in her high school exams that would help her get admitted to an elementary teacher training course. the incident has nothing to do with the hijab. hence the claim made in the post is false.
