A video showing two men on a bike stopping to harass and pull the skullcap off the head of a person who appears to be a Muslim man is being shared on social media.
The claim: The video is being shared to claim that it shows Hindus harassing a Muslim man, who retaliated strongly. It is being shared with the hashtag '#MuslimsUnderAttack'.
(Archived versions of more posts sharing this claim can be seen here, here, and here.)
But...?: The video does not show a real incident and is a scripted video.
It was made by a content creator named Muklesur Ali.
How did we find out the truth?: We ran a reverse image search on the video using Google Lens, which led us to a similar video on a YouTube channel named 'Muklesur Bhaijaan'.
This video was a clearer and longer version of the viral video.
On this page, we came across a few other videos with the same theme, claiming to show people harassing men belonging to the Muslim community. You can watch them here, here, and here.
We took a look at this channel’s description and saw that it mentioned creating ‘blogging riding videos' and scripted videos.
The channel's description states that it makes scripted videos.

The Quint had previously debunked another video by this content creator in February 2025, when it had gone with another false communal claim about a man harassing a elderly Muslim person.
We debunked another video by Muklesur Bhaijaan.

Conclusion: A scripted video is being shared with the false claim that it shows some men harassing a Muslim man.
