After the formation of the BJP government in West Bengal, several videos have been shared claiming to show bulldozer action in the state. One such video has gone viral on social media, showing a crowd of women. In the crowd, a woman wearing a burqa can be seen crying. Users are claiming that the woman is crying after bulldozer action in West Bengal.
Sharing the video, a user named Amrendra Bahubali wrote, “Bulldozer action starts in Bengal… The khatoon (woman) who said Hindu women would be made pregnant after TMC wins is now crying, and all this is happening by the will of Allah.” (English Translation)
Another user, Ranjana Singh, shared the video and wrote, “As soon as the government was formed, rapid bulldozer action started against illegal constructions in Kolkata…. A picture of a family that fell ‘victim’ to one such action…. Looking at it, you might feel that the house of an old woman in the twilight of her age was demolished…. The poor woman is sitting, holding her head and crying… so let’s go into a little flashback… this is the same lady whose video went viral in which she was threatening Hindu women that after the elections, when Momta Bano’s government comes, her boys will make you pregnant! Why cry now, Khanam… you yourself will have to suffer for the excesses you committed. Actually, this world is not flat but round, and every sin has consequences here.”
Apart from this, several other users also shared the video, claiming it to be from West Bengal, which can be seen here, here, and here.
Fact Check:
During its investigation, the DFRAC team found that the viral video is not from West Bengal, but from the Babarpur area of Delhi, and dates back to April. After conducting a reverse image search of the keyframes, we found the video posted on the Facebook account of a user named Yasmin Saifi on 29 April 2026. The post stated that an elderly woman was waiting for a gas cylinder at the Babarpur gas agency when someone threw a bottle that hit her on the head.
In further investigation, we found that after the video went viral, Yasmin Saifi shared another post clarifying the truth behind it. She stated that her video was being misused and circulated with a misleading voiceover. She clarified that the viral video is not from Kolkata, but from Delhi.
