• The video, uploaded on 28 April 2026, is a report on an incident that occurred at Shri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) in Muzaffarpur, Bihar and does not originate from West Bengal.

• In the video, a man identifying himself as Akhlaqur Rahman, an A-Grade staff nurse at SKMCH, said that while the hospital's staff was performing their duty, an "ill-mannered" woman attacked one of them with an IV drip bottle.

• "When our hospital’s trolley men and other employees, including women, came to intervene, she bit them as well," Rahman said, stating that the woman and her relatives brought the police, who also blamed the nursing staff for assaulting the woman.

• We also found a clarification posted by Maurya Dhwaj Express' YouTube channel, after the false claims about the woman being a TMC worker went viral.

"In reality, the video is from Muzaffarpur district’s SKMCH, where our social media journalist was reporting about an altercation between a person’s relatives and the hospital’s trolley man. Locals sorted the issue and an investigation also took place. Despite this, the old video is being edited and is being shared with misleading information connecting it to West Bengal..."
