A video of violence is going viral on social media with claims that, following the BJP’s victory in West Bengal, its supporters are carrying out violence.

Another handle, Muslims in India, asserted, ”These scenes were repeated in most parts of #India where Modi’s party rules, but the state of Bengal was safe from these criminals, and no sooner had Modi’s party won there than the sabotage operations began against opposition offices, Muslim shops, and their homes! Modi’s party is absolutely evil, and that’s something clear and evident, but the majority of #Hindus stand with him because they are like him.”
The video was also shared by Maktoob and Abhimanyu Singh.

On 27 March Muslims removed lord Hanuman flag on Ram Navami in Murshidabad.
They attacked Shobha Yatras with stones.
Hindus united against the onslaught and retaliated shouting "Jai Shri Ram.”
Now overground workers and fake narrative… pic.twitter.com/GMdv57iuCp
The video has been online since March 28, 2026, indicating that it predates the current context and is unrelated to recent West Bengal clashes.
We further conducted keyword searches on Google using terms such as “Ram Navami clash in Murshidabad, West Bengal,” which led us to an NBT report published on March 28, 2026. The report states that violence broke out during a Ram Navami procession in Murshidabad after a dispute over music being played. The situation escalated into clashes between local groups, resulting in stone-pelting and disturbances in the area.
In conclusion, the claim that, after the BJP’s victory in West Bengal, its supporters are carrying out violence is misleading. The video actually shows a Ram Navami-related clash in Murshidabad from March 2026.
