These days, a very scary video is going viral on social media. In this video, at least two corpses are seen hanging upside down from a footbridge. Similar pictures have also been coming from some countries of the Middle East. Especially in Iraq, Syria and Iran, cases of people being killed and hung upside down have been seen. But people are also sharing the latest video on social media platform X by claiming it to be from India. While sharing the video of the incident, it is written in Bengali, ‘Bharat ke Dalal’. However, the truth of this video is something else.
Where is the video of dead bodies hanging from the bridge from?
One thing is clear that this video is not from India. Actually this video and this incident is from our neighboring country Bangladesh. The video of bodies hanging from the bridge is near Ashulia Police Station. Ashulia is a suburban area near Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka. The protests that started in Bangladesh against Sheikh Hasina have claimed hundreds of lives. Bengali language daily newspaper ‘Pratham Alo’ reported on Tuesday that at least 109 people were killed in clashes in various parts of the country including Dhaka on Monday. Earlier, the newspaper had reported 98 deaths till 12 noon on Sunday and 16 more people were reported dead at midnight on Sunday. He said that a total of 114 people died on Sunday. The newspaper said, “With this, the total number of people who lost their lives in violence in 21 days from July 16 to yesterday has increased to 440.”
Whose corpses are these
According to local media reports, about 30 to 40 people were killed near Ashulia police station. Angered by this, the mob set the Ashulia police station on fire. It is being told that these bodies are of the policemen of the same police station. The mob killed them and hung them from the bridge in front of the Ashulia police station. According to local media reports, on Monday also there was a clash between the police and the protesters near the Ashulia police station. At least 18 people were killed in Savar and Dhamrai areas. In the video, it can be seen that two bodies are hanging upside down from an iron footwear bridge. At the same time, people are going down normally. This incident is said to be about two weeks old. The people killed were Muslim members of the ruling Awami League. According to local media reports, on Monday also there was a clash between the police and the protesters near the Ashulia police station. At least 18 people were killed in Savar and Dhamrai areas.
The video has a text in Bengali, ‘Bharat ke Dalal’ (brokers of India). People in India are sharing it linking it to the attacks on Hindus. However, there is no evidence that the hanging bodies are of the minority Hindus of Bangladesh. One user shared the video and wrote, “The scene will be like this when the country will be run by Sharia. India is a secular and peaceful country only because Hindus are in majority here.” Another user wrote that Bangladesh is becoming the new Syria.
Let us tell you that Hasina (76) resigned from the post of Prime Minister after massive protests. This protest started against the job reservation scheme, but after a few weeks it turned into a big movement and the demand for Hasina’s removal from power started. At present, the plan of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to go to London is stuck due to some “uncertainties” and she is unlikely to leave India for the next few days. Hasina, who arrived at Hindon Airbase on Monday a few hours after resigning from the post of Prime Minister, was taken to an unknown place and has been kept under tight security.
Sources said Hasina, along with her sister Rehana, was scheduled to travel from India to London for temporary asylum but is now considering other options as the UK government has indicated that she may not get legal protection in Britain against any possible investigation in the wake of violent protests in her country. Sources said Awami League leader Hasina had planned to travel to London via India and her aides had informed Indian authorities about this before reaching Hindon.
