Fact-Check: Is Ousted Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina shifting to India under tight security? Truth behind viral video

A video showing a group of some cars and motorcycles has surfaced on social media platforms with the claim that the ousted Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina has been shifted back from Delhi to Allahabad under the maximum security of the Indian government. A user posted this video on Facebook making a similar claim.

Posting this video on Facebook, a user wrote: “May Allah be the one who gives respect
to Bangladesh Awami League President Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
She has been shifted back from Delhi to Allahabad under the maximum security of the Indian government”

Fact-Check

In the probe, the DFRAC team found that the video had been misleadingly shared on X.

We conducted a reverse-image search using keyframes generated from the above-shared video that led us to a similar video posted on the YouTube account NEWS AGRADOOT on March 7, 2023.

Furthermore, we found that the same video was posted in the form of shorts on the YouTube account named abhishek_upsc_lover. It was uploaded in the year 2023 with the caption: “IAS, SDM ka Kaifla”

Noticing these alphabets and numbers on the car’s number plate, we examined the given number on the website of Car info and found that the website has shown Korba, DTO (District Transport Office) Chhattisgarh.

Apparently, it indicates that the video shows a group of vehicles that belong to a Chhattisgarh government official.

Conclusion

It is clear from DFRAC’s fact-check that the viral video showing a group of cars and motorcycles is from Chattisgarh. It does not show ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina shifting back from Delhi to Allahabad under the maximum security of the Indian government.
