Original review summary

The video shows devotees dismantling Goddess Kali’s idol for immersion at a temple in Sultanpur, West Bengal—not Muslims vandalising an idol in Bangladesh. The immersion took place on 26 November 2024; a committee member said the idol was dismantled because its size and weight prevented it from being immersed in one piece.[S1]
