FactWatch has debunked a misleading social media claim that a video showing a fire at a Kali temple in India depicts an incident at a Kali Puja mandap in Jessore, Bangladesh.
According to the fact-checking platform, the video was being circulated on Facebook with claims that a Kali Puja mandap at Kali Bazar in Jessore had been set on fire.
However, FactWatch found that the footage actually shows an incident in India.
The platform described the claim as an attempt to spread misinformation and create confusion by presenting footage from another country as an incident in Bangladesh.
FactWatch verifies information circulating on social media and identifies false or misleading claims.
