      Video Of Babri Masjid Clip Screened In Maharashtra Peddled As Bangladesh
      CLAIMVideo shows a documentary film on the demolition of Babri Masjid being screened in Bangladesh
      FACT CHECKBOOM found that the claim is false. The viral video is not from Bangladesh but from Mumbra, Maharashtra. The documentary on the Babri mosque being demolished was shown in Mumbra, Thane on December 6, 2024.

      A video showing the screening of a documentary in Maharashtra, on the Babri mosque, is being shared with a false claim that the film was played in Bangladesh on December 6, the anniversary of the demolition of the masjid, to provoke Muslims against minority Hindus.

      BOOM found that the viral video is not from Bangladesh but from Mumbra, Maharashtra. The screening was organised by the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) on December 6, 2024 in Mumbra, Thane. SDPI Mumbra general secretary Sarfaraz Shaikh also confirmed to BOOM that the documentary was screened in Mumbra.

      In the viral video we can see visuals of a film related to Babri Masjid being played on a big screen on the roadside. This documentary gives a brief history of the Babri Masjid and Ram Janmabhoomi dispute with a timeline of events.

      The video is being shared on X with the caption when translated reads, "What is the purpose of showing the demolition of Babri Masjid by installing big screens in Bangladesh! It is painful to provoke the Muslim community against Hindus.."

      BOOM then reached out to Sheikh who confirmed that the video was from Mumbra and the film was screened by SDPI in the city.

      Sheikh told BOOM, "The claim of Bangladesh with the video is just a rumour. SDPI protests every year on December 6 in memory of the Babri demolition. In this connection, we had organised this exhibition." He further added, "Through this we tried to show the entire timeline of Babri. This event was organised near Darul Falah Mosque located near Accord Naka in Mumbra area."
