The videos show protests held in Bihar after the NDA’s victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY found no credible reports of large-scale protests in Bihar after the NDA’s victory and said none of the five viral videos showed such protests. It identified the clips as footage of Zubeen Garg’s last rites in Assam, a bullock cart race in Maharashtra, protests in Nepal, a Youth Congress rally in Raipur, and an RJD candidate’s Bihar campaign before the results.

China plans to ban Samsung phones over embedded ‘unremovable Israeli spyware

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says China has not announced a nationwide consumer ban on Samsung or other foreign-brand phones, and found no official Chinese allegation that Samsung devices contain “Israeli spyware.” It distinguishes workplace restrictions on foreign devices from a public ban and says privacy concerns raised by advocacy groups about preinstalled software are not evidence of such a ban.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා ක්‍රිකට් කණ්ඩායමට පාකිස්ථානයෙන් VVIP ආරක්ෂාවක් ලබා දුන් බවට පළ වන්නේ පැරණි වීඩියෝවක්!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the video presented as showing security for Sri Lanka’s cricket team was footage from 2022 of security for the Pakistan Super League. It distinguishes that old footage from security provided to the Sri Lankan team after the November 11 bombing in Islamabad.

FactCrescendo Sri LankaSports

The viral claim saying Pakistan gave VVIP security to the Sri Lankan cricket team is based on an old video!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review found that the viral video was from 2022 and showed security in Karachi for the Pakistan Super League, not the Sri Lankan team’s current tour. It also reports that Pakistan strengthened security for the team after the November 11 Islamabad bombing, so the video was old even though additional security measures were reported.

FACTLYImmigration

The viral video shows illegal Bangladeshi Rohingyas returning to Bangladesh due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in West Bengal.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the video was filmed at Mongla Ghat in Bangladesh, which it says has no geographical connection to West Bengal or India. It identifies the people in the video as garment workers who regularly travel to work, and says the river crossings are part of local daily routines, not a political event in India.
