DHAKA, June 30, 2025 (BSS) – Chief Adviser’s Press Wing has said pro-Awami League propagandists recently circulated an Indian viral old video falsely labeling it as evidence of ‘July Gang Culture’. 

“Pro-Awami League propagandists recently circulated a video of a violent clash between two groups of teenagers, falsely labeling it as evidence of July Gang Culture,” the press wing said in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page – CA Press Wing Facts – on Sunday night. 

The footage shows students in school uniforms slapping and kicking each other during a physical altercation.

“However, this video is not from Bangladesh. According to Indian media reports, the footage actually shows a brawl between two student groups in Kerala, India,” the statement read.

During the investigation, a video was found posted on February 26 by the Instagram account ‘DBC HINDI’ titled, "Massive brawl between students in Kerala goes viral". The visuals in that video match the footage being shared with the current misleading claim.

The description confirms that the video shows a clash between two student groups in Kerala. Additionally, it is not recent — the footage originally dates back to 2023, according to the press wing.

The same video also appeared on the website of the Indian English-language news outlet Times Now, under the headline: “Video of shocking student street fight from Kerala goes viral | WATCH.”

According to the Times Now report, “A shocking video of a street fight between two student groups in Kerala has surfaced. At least 20 students were reportedly involved in the incident, with two seriously injured. The video shows students slapping and kicking each other during the fight. 

The exact location in Kerala where the incident occurred has not been confirmed. 

“Therefore, it is clear that the video has no connection to any incident in Bangladesh.”

“In conclusion, an old video from 2023 showing a student clash in Kerala, India, has been falsely repurposed on the internet as a recent example of student violence in Bangladesh under the label of ‘July Gang Culture’ — a claim that is entirely false,” the statement said.
