A video purportedly showing a mob vandalising shops is circulating on social media with the claim that it shows BJP supporters in West Bengal rioting after the party won the state Assembly elections.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" >Sharing the video on the X handle, TMC MP from Bardhaman-Durgapur Kirti Azad wrote, &quot;@AmitShah&apos;s Gunda &apos;s creating riots in the name of Lord Rama.
