Punjab is currently reeling under devastating floods, affecting nearly 1,650 villages across all 23 districts. The worst-affected areas include Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Ferozepur and Fazilka. The local community, volunteers, celebrities and humanitarian organisations have come forward to contribute to the relief efforts. Meanwhile, a video is currently circulating on social media which shows some Muslims opening a donation bag. This video is being attributed to the flood relief efforts in Punjab.
Sharing the video, the handle Davinder Pal Singh wrote, “Our Muslim brothers have stepped forward to help the flood-affected people in Punjab. After all, it is a brother who comes forward to help another brother in tough times.” (Archived link)

Fact Check
In our fact-check, we took key frames of the video and ran a reverse image search. We found the same video on the YouTube page of Somoyer Konthosor, which is based in Bangladesh. The video was shared on August 30, 2025 with a caption in Bengali that translates to, “Donation boxes of Pagla Masjid in Kishoreganj reopened.”
Then, we searched for Pagla Mosque Kishoreganj on Google and found that this mosque is situated in Bangladesh in the Kishoreganj District of the Dhaka division.
We also found a report from Pratidin Media dated August 30, 2025. According to the report, on August 30, the donation box of Pagla Mosque will be opened and the money received in it will be counted. The donation amount will be used for the development of the mosque.
In conclusion, the video of the donation bag being opened is not from Punjab. This video is from Pagla Mosque in Bangladesh, where the donation bag was opened on August 30 and the money received in it was counted.
