What’s the truth?

We began our analysis by utilizing the viral video’s keyframes. We discovered that the viral video had some writing on it when we were analyzing it. Taking that as a hint, we looked up the exact text on it using Google Translate.

“In the month of fasting, it is happening in Dinajpur…?” was the translated line. Furthermore, we discovered that the translated language was Bangla, which is Bangladesh’s native tongue. We then conducted more research on Google using suitable phrases, and this brought us to a Bangladeshi news article published by News 24. “A student of Hafezia Madrasa ran away after kissing the student” is the title of the article.

According to the article, a sixth-class schoolgirl was attacked and molested in Dinajpur. The accused was taken into custody and brought before the court after a CCTV recording of the incident went viral on social media. It is said that the 6th-grade girl was walking to her sister’s house after her school Children’s Day program on Sunday morning. She was followed by a newly graduated Hafezia Madrasa student named Sakhawat Hossain (20), son of Ariful Islam of Baluadanga.

The girl was abruptly molested (kissed) and injured by Sakhawat, who fled when she approached the sister’s house gate. The boy gave a sharp scratch to both of the girl’s cheeks when she screamed. The girl suffered severe injuries.

As the video went viral on social media, Dinajpur Kotyali Police Station Inspector Investigation Moniruzzaman Mandal Monir said that the locals’ assistance allowed the police to apprehend the accused from his area quickly. Following the appropriate actions, he was brought before the judge.

With all of this information, it is evident that India was not the location of the viral incident.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Bangladesh is the location of the widely shared video that depicts a Muslim man abusing a girl in a public setting. In addition, news reports state that he was taken into custody and appeared in court.
