A video of a mob walking down a dirt road armed with bamboo sticks is being shared with a false claim that it shows illegal Bangladeshi immigrants heading to attack officials in Assam’s Goalpara district.

BOOM found that the visuals are from Kishoreganj, Bangladesh, and show a clash between two Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) factions that happened on July 1, 2025.

However, violent clashes erupted in Assam’s Goalpara district during an eviction drive in July this year. According to The Indian Express, the operation was carried out on July 12 to clear 140 hectares of land in the Paikan Reserve Forest. Around 1,080 families lost their homes. One person was later killed, and several police personnel were injured during the confrontation over the large-scale eviction.

The Claim 

A verified handle on X shared the video with the caption, "Illegal Bangladeshis plan to attack officials in Goalpara, Assam with home made sharp spears and stones. What should be done to them?"

According to Dhaka Mail, Jagonews24.com, and Channel i News, the clash happened in Ashtagram, Kishoreganj, between two BNP factions. At least 40 people were injured due to the violence.

The report further quoted Ashtagram Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Ruhul Amin, who confirmed the incident and said the clash was brought under control by the police.
