      Old Photo Of Injured Bangladeshi Woman Peddled As WB Post-poll Violence

      A photo from 2020 showing a severely injured woman after her family was attacked by land grabbers in Bangladesh is being shared with the false claim that she was injured during the post-poll violence in West Bengal.

      The photo is being shared in the backdrop of reports of post-poll violence in the state with opposition parties including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) accusing the TMC of violent attacks on their party workers. The incumbent TMC led by Mamata Banerjee won a landslide victory on May 2, 2021, bagging 212 assembly seats.

      In the viral photo an injured woman can be seen sitting. The photo is being shared with the caption which when translated reads, "Is she not a woman, is she not a daughter of Bengal, is Bengali and a woman only Mamta. Damn to those who are women and still supporting Mamata shamelessly."

      The same photo was shared with the false claim by BJP Spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay
