A video showing people crossing over a huge fence is making the rounds on social media with a claim that it shows a recent video of immigrants from Bangladesh illegally crossing over to India.

The video is shared with a caption: अवैध बांग्लादेशी लोग भारत में प्रवेश कर रहे हैं.. वे जल्द ही नकली दस्तावेजों द्वारा नकली मतदाता पहचान पत्र बनाएंगे और हिंदू सरकार को गिराने के लिए अन्य राज्यों की यात्रा करेंगे। illegal bangladeshi immigrants entering india.. they will create fake voter id card by fake documents soon and will travel to other states to make hindu goverment fall

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above post, and found it to be old.

On putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we came across a news bulletin by News Nation, which was posted on their official YouTube channel on January 22, 2019, featuring the same video.

The same video had been uploaded on YouTube, dated May 20, 2015. The title of the video reads: Illegal entry from Bangladesh to India at Milan Mela in West Bengal Uttar Dinajpur.

 

However, NewsMobile independently couldn’t verify the origin of the video, but it is certainly quite old.
