"The sitting bunny is forcing out the Easter bunny," wrote Johann Martel, a member of parliament for the far-right populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD), in a post on X which has been viewed almost 200,000 times.

Publisher’s rating: DW fact check: False. It is true that the German discount supermarket chain Lidl sells one chocolate rabbit called a "Sitzhase" (sitting bunny) from the brand Favorina — or at least it did. But it also sells many products that specifically highlight the Easter theme.

The video shows a TMC leader threatening a woman DIG in West Bengal.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the video shows Congress Unakoti district president Badruj Jaman arguing with Superintendent of Police Sudhambika R in Kailashahar, Tripura—not a TMC leader in West Bengal. It dates the incident to 12 April 2025, during a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.

FACTLY

The video shows Bajrang Dal members from Rajasthan arriving in West Bengal in the wake of Waqf related protests.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review identifies the footage as a Ram Navami rally in Barasat on 06 April 2025, not Bajrang Dal members arriving from Rajasthan. It says the rally took place five days before the Waqf-related violence in Murshidabad began on 11 April 2025. [S1: “The video is from a Ram Navami rally held in Barasat, West Bengal, on 06 April 2025. It has no connection to Bajrang Dal members travelling from outside the state.”; “This confirms that the video is from a Ram Navami rally held in Barasat on 06 April 2025, five days before the Waqf-related violence in Murshidabad, which began on 11 April 2025.”]
