A video captured from a slowly moving train, showing a crowd of men gathered along the railway tracks, many of whom are wearing skullcaps and traditional Muslim attire, is going viral on social media. The clip is shared with claims that it shows the mass exodus of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from West Bengal amidst the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

An Instagram account, Balwant Singh Parmar (@ kattar.bs parmar ), shared the purported video as a reel on November 23, 2025. The reel was accompanied by a caption “Hail for SIR”, and the footage had an on-screen text reading “Bangal khali ho raha hai”, which can be roughly translated in English as “Bengal is emptying”.
