A shared video shows a bulldozer demolishing a structure resembling a mosque. Sharing the video, users have claimed the structure belongs to India, and the video shows a Mosque structure being destroyed by a bulldozer in India.
A Twitter user named Radio Genoa shared the video and wrote,” Bulldozers in India demolish illegal mosques.”The archive link of the post can be viewed here.

The similar claim was made by another user on its personal blogging Dutch-German website with the headline “Dozing in India, dobozing illegal mosque”.

Fact Check
Upon investigation, we found the claim to be misleading. A reverse image search led us to a video featuring similar visuals related to the claim. The video, captioned in Indonesian (translated to English as “End of the Story of the Hibisc Fantasy Tourism”), showed the same structure being demolished. The video was uploaded by an Indonesian user.

Further investigation revealed a news report from an Indonesian media outlet stating that the West Java Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) deployed five heavy machines to dismantle the Hibisc Fantasy Puncak tourist attraction in Tugu Selatan, Indonesia. The report clarified that only buildings lacking a PBG (Building Construction Permit) were being removed.

Additionally, we found the Instagram page of the Hibisc Fantasy Puncak amusement park, which displayed images of the same structure and the caption in the Indonesian language.

Another Indonesian media report by Kompas also confirmed the fact. It reported that West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi ordered the demolition of the Hibisc recreation area in Puncak, Bogor. It happened due to violations related to land use exceeding the approved permit.
Additionally, we looked for the location on Google maps as well. It also indicated a similar structure from the viral video, located in Indonesia.

Conclusion
Thus, from the fact check, it is clear that the viral claim is Misleading. It does not show the event of the mosque being demolished in India. In reality, it is from Indonesia’s Hibisc Fantasy Puncak Theme Park, which was demolished for violating the construction permits.
