FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the above posts, we found the claim attached to the video to be FAKE.
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 22nd, 2019 which features the same video.
On digging further, we came across the same video on YouTube which was uploaded on May 20th, 2015.
The title of the video read, ‘Aboidho probes (Bangladesh to India) and in the caption “Milon Mela 15/04/2015” was written.
In conclusion, though we couldn’t verify the origin of the video, it is certain that the video is old and it is nowhere related to Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019.
