Original review summary

The review identifies the video as footage from Shaheed Muktijoddha Girls’ High School in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, not West Bengal. It cites the school badge, location and surroundings, and a West Bengal Police post identifying the footage as being from Dhaka. [S1][S1]

Additional context

The school principal told BOOM Bangladesh the incident occurred two years earlier and involved Muslim students, but the review says it could not independently verify the exact reason for the fight or its full context. [S1] [S1]
