The claim
Video shows illegal Bangladeshi immigrants leaving India for Bangladesh after the Suvendu Adhikari government warned that illegal migrants would be sent to detention camps.
Original review summary
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.[S1]
Additional context
FACTLY reports that the Chilahati Express runs between Dhaka and Chilahati in northern Bangladesh, and that the footage showed passengers travelling on train rooftops because of overcrowding ahead of Eid-ul-Adha. [S1]
