What is the truth behind the video of a school bus being set on fire

However, local investigation has revealed that this video is from the protest held in Gopalganj on Wednesday regarding SC ST reservation. However, the claim of an attempt to set the school bus on fire is completely false. It is being told that the protesters protested by burning tyres on the main roads in the city.

A school bus full of children also passed by along with other vehicles during the protest. During this, the driver of the bus drove the bus over the burning tyres on the road. The security personnel and protesters standing there asked the driver to take the bus forward immediately. After this, the driver moved the school bus forward and the vehicle was saved from getting caught in the fire. People present there made a video of it from a distance, which is now viral. For a few seconds in the viral video, it seems that the protesters were deliberately trying to set the bus on fire, but this claim proved to be false. Gopalganj police also did not confirm any incident of arson or vandalism in the school bus.
