DHAKA, Sept 8, 2025 (BSS) - BanglaFact, a fact-checking and media research 
team of Press Institute of Bangladesh (PIB), has identified a video claiming 
the footage of baton charge by Bangladesh army during clashing between two 
parties at Hathazari which is actually an incident of Chattogram in 2024. 

BanglaFact's investigation mentioned that the upazila administration imposed 
Section 144 on Saturday to control the situation arising from the 
confrontation between the two sides in Hathazari, Chattogram.

In this context, a video has been circulated on the social media claiming 
that the army was baton-charging to activists of the two conflicting parties 
after the imposition of Section 144 in Hathazari.
 
The team found that, "The video is not from Hathazari. It is not even recent. 
In fact, the video is from a different incident in November 2024. It is a 
video of an incident that was created around a Facebook post by a person in 
Hazari Gali, Chattogram city, at that time, against ISKCON."
