The claim
The video shows protesters climbing a mosque’s minaret and hoisting a saffron (Bhagwa) flag amid 2026 unrest in Nepal.
Original review summary
The video is not from the 2026 unrest in Nepal: the review identifies it as footage of the vandalisation of Badi Mosque in Delhi’s Ashok Nagar during CAA-related communal violence. It says the footage shows a mob climbing the minaret and hoisting the Indian national flag and a saffron Hanuman flag.[S1]
Additional context
The review dates the 2020 Delhi riots to 23–27 February and says they took place in North-East Delhi amid clashes over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. [S1]
