Publisher’s rating: False

Fact Crescendo traced the video to a suicide incident in Purnia, Bihar, rather than an attack in Bangladesh. Its review says local reports identified the woman and her three children and described the incident as a suicide following a dispute with her husband.

FACTLY

Viral video shows a recent 2024 incident of two Hindus being burnt in Bangladesh

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY says the video shows model corpses at a Halloween party at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China, not Hindus being burnt in Bangladesh. It reports that similar visuals appeared in an Instagram post from 2018 and that videos and photos linked the setting to the park’s Halloween 2018 event.

A widely shared video on social media claimed that the Government is “now going to tax you if you have savings of over £10,000”.

Publisher’s rating: The Government does not tax people on their savings, but the interest earned on savings has long been eligible for income tax. Under the current rules – introduced in 2016 – a higher rate taxpayer must pay income tax on any interest they earn above £500 each year. That means that if they have £10,000 in a savings account with a 5% interest rate they will be eligible to start paying tax.
