A very disturbing video is viral which shows many corpses lying on the road, burnt with a crowd on the scene trying to help. The video is claimed to be from West Bengals, the dead being victims of the recent Birbhum violence.
Since the video is too disturbing, we would not be including it here but the screenshots will have the links to the source.
“बंगाल में हिंदुओं की जली भुनी काली लाशे देख रहे हो ना मीडिया की खामोशी देख रहे हो ना अभी तक न कोई न्यूज़ पेपर ना ही कोई न्यूज़ चैनल इस पर कुछ बोला है आज से 30 साल बाद कोई इसपर बोलेगा तो उसको उस समय के लिब्रांडु प्रोपोगेंडा बोल देंगे बस कश्मीर में भी यही हुआ था इतिहास से सबक ना सीखने वालों को इतिहास दोहरा दोहरा कर इतिहास सिखाता है”
The viral video is two years old from an accident in Odisha, a passenger bus which caught fire.
On reverse search we found a tweet made in Feb 2020.
Further, on looking closely, we found a website painted on the bus.
