Old, Unrelated Video from Rajasthan Shared as showing a Post-Election Protest in Bihar
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a decisive victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections, winning 202 out of 243 seats. Amid the results, a video (here, here & here) began circulating widely on social media, allegedly showing a post-election protest in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The video depicts a group of people vandalising a gate and waving flags. Let’s verify the claim.
Claim: Video of a protest in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, after the declaration of the 2025 Bihar Assembly election results.
Fact: The video shows a Student Federation of India protest at Shekhawati University in Sikar, Rajasthan, on 28 July 2025, which is unrelated to the Bihar election results declared on 14 November 2025. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
A reverse image search of the viral video revealed that it has been in circulation since July 2025 and shows a student protest led by the Student Federation of India (SFI) at Shekhawati University in Sikar, Rajasthan.
Media reports (here, here & here) confirm that on 28 July 2025, SFI activists staged a protest at Rajasthan’s Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Shekhawati University, pressing for 16 demands, including the reinstatement of student union elections and improved campus amenities. The demonstration escalated when students broke through the closed gate and entered the university premises, gathering near the vice chancellor’s office to protest against the administration.
The evidence confirms that the viral video predates the Bihar election results, declared on 14 November 2025, and is unrelated to it. Furthermore, no credible reports have indicated large-scale protests in Bihar following the NDA’s victory.
To sum it up, an old and unrelated video from Rajasthan has been shared as showing a post-election protest in Bihar.
