Old Video of Police Officers Dancing Falsely Linked to BJP’s Victory in West Bengal

A video showing police officers dancing is being shared with the claim that it shows them celebrating the BJP’s victory in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections.

Sharing the video, The News Basket wrote, ”Are the police in West Bengal doing their duty or dancing??? The ED, CBI, Election Commission, and media have already lost their dignity, and now even the uniform has lost its prestige, which is why these people get beaten up everywhere.”

Another handle, Karishma Aziz, asserted, ”Why are the police officers dancing over BJP’s victory in West Bengal? I’d heard that while holding a government position, you can’t engage in corruption.”

Another handle, Moini, wrote, ”Why are police officers seen celebrating the BJP’s victory in West Bengal? Public trust demands neutrality—not political display. And if power bends rules, what happens to accountability? This isn’t just optics. It’s a question of democracy. Speak up.”
