The claim
The video shows a few people playing musical instruments inside a Kolkata mosque to harass devotees after the BJP’s victory in West Bengal.
Original review summary
FACTLY found that the video was unrelated to post-poll violence in West Bengal and had been online before the 2026 Assembly elections. It traced the footage to a video uploaded on 20 June 2025 by Gashchi Shahi Darbar Sharif and reported that a Bangladeshi fact-checker later identified the location as a shrine in Chittagong.[S1]
