Does This Photo Show Lord Vishnu’s Statue Being Demolished in Bangladesh? No!

An image showing a bulldozer demolishing a statue of Lord Vishnu is going viral on social media platforms with users claiming it to be a recent incident from Bangladesh.

A Facebook user shared the photo with a caption in Malayalam that loosely translated to, “The scenes in Bangladesh are frightening.”

(More archives of similar such claims could be viewed here and here.)

What’s the truth?: The claim is misleading. The image actually shows a Lord Vishnu statue that was demolished along the border of Thailand and Cambodia.
