Original review summary

The review says the video shows an attack on police in Motihari on 30 October 2024, during an attempt to arrest the son of accused Shambhu Bhagat after two kidnapped girls were recovered. It reports that the FIR identified all the accused as Hindus, so the claim that Muslim villagers carried out the attack was misleading.[S1]
