The claim
The viral video shows Hindus setting fire to Muslims shops in Nainital, Uttarakhand.
Original review summary
The video does not show the claimed arson in Nainital: it depicts a market fire in Lakshmipur, Bangladesh, and is unrelated to the Nainital unrest. The review says a comparison with a news report confirmed both videos show the same fire incident.[S1]
Additional context
The reported Lakshmipur market fire occurred on 11 July 2024 and destroyed around 15 shops. [S1]
