The claim
The video shows the demolition of unauthorised buildings built by illegal Bangladeshis, Rohingyas, and others in Bareilly Market.
Original review summary
FACTLY found that the video predates the September 2025 Bareilly violence and shows an anti-encroachment operation in Depalpur, Pakistan, not demolitions in Bareilly. The review says the operation demolished unauthorised shops that had been in place for over 50 years.[S1]
Additional context
Separately, after violence in Bareilly on 26 September 2025, authorities carried out encroachment actions there. On 4 October, the Bareilly Development Authority demolished Raja Palace, a marriage hall owned by an aide of Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, citing construction-norm violations. [S1]
