A CCTV video showing a young girl being stabbed outside her home has gone viral on social media. He seems to stab her multiple times while she is shouting for help. He then runs away while the girl falls to the ground.

The video is shared by users claiming it shows a Muslim youth attacking a Hindu schoolgirl in Bangladesh. A social media user shared the video with a caption that reads, “Muslim teen stabs Hindu schoolgirl in Bangladesh.”

South Check found that the claim is false. The victim and accused are both Muslims. The crime has no communal angle.

On a Google reverse image search, we found that the screenshot of the video was shared by Observer, a Bangladeshi media website, on November 9.

The report associated with the screenshot suggested that a 15-year-old schoolgirl, Zakia Sultana, was seriously injured after being repeatedly stabbed by an alleged stalker outside her home in Kushtia town on Monday. Moreover, the victim was identified as Zakia Sultana. She was a Class 10 student of Kushtia Mission School and the daughter of Zakaria Hossain, a resident of Thanapara.

The incident was also reported by The Daily Star on November 9. The report further said that she had just returned from her SSC test examination at Kushtia Mission Secondary School and was attacked while waiting at her gate.

The accused, identified as Imon, allegedly stabbed her with a sharp weapon before fleeing. Jakiya was admitted to Kushtia General Hospital, where doctors said her injuries were serious, but she was out of danger. Her father alleged that Imon had harassed her on her way to school, while police said efforts were underway to arrest him. This report also suggests that her name is Zakia Sultana.

Another report by Prothomalo, published on November 10, 2026, stated that the accused named Emon, the teenage suspect, was tracked and arrested by police within 12 hours during a raid in the Patikabari area of Sadar Upazila, roughly 20 kilometres from Kushtia town. A formal case has been filed against him at the police station.

Thus, based on the above reports, we can ascertain that the claim is false and there is no communal angle involved in the incident.
