AI-Generated Video Shared As Bangladeshi Hindu Youth Pleading For His Life

After two Hindu men, Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mandal, were lynched during the ongoing unrest in Bangladesh, a purported selfie video of a young man has gone viral, where he is heard saying in Hindi, “This is Bangladesh, and it is nighttime. They will finish us like ‘Dipu Chadar’. Share this video as much as possible. So that someone can save us.” 

Sharing that video, many social media users wrote in Hindi, “Hindus of Bangladesh are dying everyday. Now the Hindu there is also asking “Who will save us” Save the Hindus of Bangladesh Narendra Modi ji.” (Archive Link)

Evidence

1. Factual Inconsistencies In the Video

Several red flags appear in the clip:

• The speaker incorrectly refers to Dipu Chandra Das as “Dipu Chadar,” despite widespread reporting of the correct name.
  
• The lighting in the video appears unnatural, with illumination seemingly emerging from the middle of an electric pole, an unlikely real-world scenario.
• These inconsistencies raised early doubts about the video’s authenticity.

2. Reverse Image Search Findings

A reverse image search of key frames revealed that the same video was posted on December 24, 2024, on the Instagram account of Kuldeep Meena, a digital content creator.

Multiple videos on the same account show the creator:

• Running through streets in Russia with Santa Claus
  
• Re-enacting scenes like the sinking of the Titanic
  
• Many more selfie videos related to the ongoing unrest in Bangladesh can be seen on that Instagram handle.

This pattern strongly suggests staged or digitally generated content, not real-life documentation.

4. Direct Reference To AI Tools

In the caption of one video, the creator explicitly mentioned Sora OpenAI, an AI-powered video generation model capable of producing realistic videos from text prompts or images.

5. Independent AI-Detection Tool Results

To further verify the video, it was tested using multiple AI-detection tools:

• Hive Moderation Tool analysis showed that 99.7 percent of the video is AI-generated or deepfake content.
  

• Resemble AI, an audio forensics tool, flagged the audio track as synthetic, indicating that the voice in the clip is not real.
  

• The Deepfakes Analysis Unit (DAU) of the Trusted Information Alliance (TIA), of which Newschecker is a member, also ran the viral audio through Hive AI, which leaned towards it being AI-generated.

Verdict

The viral video claiming to show a Bangladeshi Hindu youth pleading for help is AI-generated and misleading. It has no connection to the events in Bangladesh.
