The claim that the rapist of a child in Magura has been executed is false; the widely circulated video is part of a film shooting. A child who was a victim of rape in Magura was admitted to Magura 250-bed hospital on March 6. While undergoing treatment, the child passed away on March 13 at Dhaka’s Combined Military Hospital (CMH). Amid nationwide outrage over the incident, a video titled “Execution for raping a child” has recently been circulating on social media, particularly on Facebook.

Fact-Check

An investigation by the Rumor Scanner team has revealed that the circulated video does not show the execution of the child's rapist. Instead, it is a scene from a film shoot that has been misrepresented to support this claim.
During the investigation, a video titled “February 20, 2025” was found on the YouTube channel Story Toonz, published on February 20. The content of this video matches the one being circulated with the misleading claim, though it does not provide detailed information about the scene depicted.
Additionally, a post-dated November 25, 2024, was discovered on the Facebook page Vadaima Film, containing another video that closely resembles the one in question. The caption of the video states that it was part of a new film shoot, which attracted a large crowd of curious onlookers. The scene includes a public execution setup where an actor is shown hanging, filmed in front of thousands of spectators. Therefore, the video is not from a real event, nor is it recent—it is merely a staged sequence from a movie.
 In conclusion, the claim that the rapist of the Magura child victim was executed is false. The video being shared is from a film shoot and is misleading.
