The claim
The video shows a Rohingya Muslim disguised in a burqa being caught by the police while attempting to steal from a Hindu household in India.
Original review summary
The video shows Rashid Ahmed, a 27-year-old Rohingya man, detained by police in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh—not someone caught stealing from a Hindu household in India. The review reports that police stopped him during a routine check and suspected he was trying to enter the camp secretly for criminal activity; it found no evidence of the alleged theft.[S1]
Additional context
The detention took place on 23 July 2025 near the Shalbagan checkpost in the Teknaf area of Cox’s Bazar. Police said his behaviour, clothing, and manner of speaking raised suspicion. [S1]
