      Claim

      An old video showing a clash between policemen and protesters during a rally has resurfaced with a false claim that Assam police thrashed Bangladeshi Muslims who were protesting for a separate country. The video was shared on Facebook and X with the caption, “Bangladeshi Muslims in Assam howling for a separate country. Appropriate action by Assam Police.”

      FactCheck

      BOOM debunked this video in June, 2021 when it went viral with a similar false claim. We had then run a reverse image search with the keyframes from the video and found the longer version of the video on YouTube uploaded in 2017. The video was titled as, “Assam Police Firing Yakub Ali Goalpara 30/06/2017(2)”. We ran a keyword search and found an article by The Wire, published on July 1, 2017. The report stated, "A 22-year-old man, Yakub Ali, died in police firing in Assam's Goalpara district on June 30, 2017, during a public rally to protest against the alleged inclusion of several Indian citizens in the D (doubtful)-voters list in the state by police and foreigners' tribunals.” Assamese news outlet Prag News reported about the same incident.
