Fact Check: Video of Destroyed Rickshaw From Bangladesh, Not India

A video of a man crying over his crushed rickshaw went viral.

People thought it happened in India, but it was actually in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Authorities were getting rid of illegal rickshaws.

The man in the video was upset because his rickshaw was being destroyed.

This happened because the city was trying to make roads safer by removing unauthorized vehicles.

The government provided money to some of the rickshaw owners affected by the crackdown.

This shows that information online can sometimes be wrong, and it's important to check where things really happen.
