The Bihar police have launched an investigation into MVS Films, a YouTube channel accused of publishing inflammatory and derogatory content targeting the Muslim community. The channel, managed by Ashish Pandey from Buxar district, has a considerable online following, with nearly one million subscribers on YouTube and Instagram. However, its videos have come under scrutiny for allegedly spreading false narratives and disturbing communal harmony.
One of the most controversial videos, titled “Madarse me train palatne ki training”, shows a Muslim man near a railway track, accused of plotting “rail jihad” after a screwdriver falls from his pocket. The man escapes while chanting “Allahu Akbar” and vowing to derail trains. Another video depicts characters in Muslim attire discussing alleged historical temple demolitions, with one youth claiming that when Muslims came to India, they destroyed temples and built mosques over them. A second youth in the video expresses concerns, stating that Ajmer Dargah may soon come under Hindu control, as “they have woken up now.”
A third video propagates the idea of “Jamai jihad,” where Muslim men allegedly plan to marry tribal women in Jharkhand to infiltrate communities.
These videos have sparked widespread condemnation on social media, with users demanding action. One social media user, Mohammad Shadab Khan, wrote an email to the police calling for immediate action against the creators.
In response, the Buxar police confirmed receiving complaints and launched an investigation led by the cybercrime department. The authorities have appealed to the public to avoid sharing content that could incite communal tension and have assured strict action against those responsible.
As the investigation continues, the incident highlights the growing concern over hate speech and the misuse of social media platforms to spread divisive narratives.
