The claim
The video shows Muslims fleeing Bareilly after police identified them following the ‘I Love Muhammad’ protests and subsequent violence in September 2025.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the video was online by 21 August 2025, before the Bareilly violence on 26 September 2025, and identifies it as footage of crowds at Bareilly Junction after Urs-e-Razvi. The review concludes that the video does not show people fleeing after police identified them following the protests and violence. (S1: “The viral video predates the ‘I Love Muhammad’ protests and violence on 26 September 2025 and has been online since at least 21 August 2025.”; “The post claimed it shows the crowd at Bareilly Junction after Urs-e-Razvi.”)[S1]
Additional context
The review says the 107th Urs was held in Bareilly from 18 to 20 August 2025, and that large crowds gathered as pilgrims returned after it concluded. [S1]
