The Verdict False

The story of a 55-year-old teacher being bullied by college students while classes were being held on zoom, is fictional.

The story of a 55-year-old teacher being bullied by college students while classes were being held on zoom, is fictional.With the cases of COVID-19 rising, most of the colleges have resorted to online classes to teach the students. Incidentally, a message posted by user Syed Mohamad Fahim with the photo of a teacher went viral on social media, which said that the teacher was bullied by one of the students. On verification, we found that the viral image contained a screenshot of a video shared on 29 June by a Facebook user Hafiz R Rahman. The video was of an online class held in Bangladesh. Further, Fahim has also mentioned at the end of the post that he wrote a fictional story in solidarity to all teachers who are victims of Zoom attack by rude students. Hence we can say that no such incident happened with the teacher.
