Infiltration after the CAB’s introduction in the Parliament? No, it’s an old video

A video is being shared widely on social media with a claim that it shows Bangladeshis entering into Assam after the introduction of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 (CAB) in the Parliament. Let’s try to analyze the claim made in the post.

The archived version of the post can be found here.

Claim: Video of Bangladeshis entering into Assam after the introduction of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 in the Parliament.

Fact: The posted video is an old one. Amit Shah has introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 in the Lok Sabha on 09 December 2019. But the posted video can be found in circulation from January 2019. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.

When the screenshots of the video were run through the Yandex Reverse Image Search, a video of ‘News Nation’ with the same visuals was found in the search results. The ‘News Nation’ video has the following description: ‘Exclusive: Bangladeshi immigrants infiltration video from Silchar border’ and was uploaded on 22 January 2019. But, Amit Shah has introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 in the Lok Sabha on 09 December 2019. So, an old video is being shared again to mislead the people.

To sum it up, the video was not taken after the CAB’s introduction in the Parliament.
