Original review summary

The review says the video dates to January 2022 and shows students protesting alleged irregularities in the RRB NTPC exam in Sitamarhi, Bihar—not an Eid-related incident. It says the person’s religious identity could not be independently confirmed, but the available evidence indicated no communal angle.[S1]

Additional context

The review reports that the Railway Ministry addressed the video on 08 April 2025, calling it old and urging the public to ignore rumours. [S1]
