FACTLYImmigration

Video showing the body of a Bangladeshi infiltrator allegedly killed by the BSF along the Tripura border in June 2026.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the viral video is unrelated to the reported June 2026 BSF killing in Tripura: it had been online since August 2025 and shows Haris Nazir Dar, killed during Operation Akhal in Jammu and Kashmir. It separately reports that a Bangladeshi national was shot dead at Latiapura Border Outpost in Tripura on 13 June 2026. [S1]

FACTLYImmigration

Video shows illegal Bangladeshi immigrants leaving India for Bangladesh after the Suvendu Adhikari government warned that illegal migrants would be sent to detention camps.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY found that the video shows passengers on the Chilahati Express, a domestic Bangladesh Railway service, during the Eid-ul-Adha travel rush—not illegal immigrants leaving India. The review says the footage is unrelated to reports of people moving towards the Bangladesh border after anti-infiltration measures.

FACTLYImmigration

The video shows Bangladeshi Rohingya Muslims fleeing West Bengal following the formation of a BJP government in the state in May 2026.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review found that the video was online by 26 December 2025, before the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, and was unrelated to the BJP government’s formation. It says the video’s post described the visuals as from an Ijtema gathering in Dhubri, Assam, while noting that it could not independently verify the exact location or full context.

FACTLYImmigration

The video shows Bangladeshi migrants crossing the border after the BJP’s victory in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The video was already online in November 2025, before the West Bengal election schedule was announced, and shows people attending a Kali idol immersion ceremony in Fankatala village—not Bangladeshi migrants crossing the border after the election. The original review says local police confirmed the people were heading to watch the ceremony. [S1]
