Vision Pro VR Headset

Apple unveiled the Vision Pro AR headset, their first foray into virtual reality (VR), during the WWDC keynote. The Vision Pro is a virtual reality headset that competes with PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest 3. This is in contrast to the long-awaited Apple smart glasses. Apple put a lot of effort into making a thin and light headset by using premium materials when needed. Voice, hand, and eye commands are all used to operate the Digital Crown-equipped device. The showcases offer extraordinary clarity, which is fueled by Apple’s M2 processor with a committed R1 chip. The Vision Pro combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), enabling users to interact with Apple apps and gain access to the company’s existing ecosystem. The expanded reality space created by the headset’s sensors and cameras allows users to place apps in real-world environments and adjust their level of concentration. Optic ID is a security and unlocking eye-tracking technology that is incorporated into the Vision Pro. It allows for a more immersive screen experience because it is compatible with Apple accessories like Magic Keyboard and Mac. At launch, the Vision Pro supports over a hundred Apple game galleries. Disney gave a hint that Apple and Disney might work together in the future by announcing support for the Vision Pro and making the Disney Plus app available immediately. The show highlighted the headset’s lightweight plan and recommended Apple clients wear it for extended periods. However, widespread adoption may be difficult due to the high price of $3,499 (₹289,093.01 approx). Apple is expected to release the Vision Pro for public use in 2024.

According to the report, ahead of the formation of the next Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with his Council of Ministers, had tendered his resignation to President Droupadi Murmu. This paved the way for the dissolution of the 17th Lok Sabha, which ran from 2019 to 2024.

Executive Summary

‍

A video showing uniformed personnel removing street vendors and damaging roadside stalls is being circulated on social media with the false claim that the Nepal government has started expelling Bangladeshis from the country. The viral clip is around 49 seconds long and shows authorities clearing vendors from a public area. Nepali audio can also be heard in the background, which appears to have added to the misleading narrative.

However, an research by the CyberPeace Research Wing found that the claim is false. The video is not from Nepal, but from Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka, where authorities were carrying out an anti-encroachment operation near the National Stadium.

‍

Claim:
‍

The video was shared on X with a caption claiming that a Hindu-led government in Nepal had begun driving Bangladeshis out of the country.

• https://archive.ph/nLRPw 

‍

Fact Check:

A close examination of the video revealed several signs contradicting the claim. Text written in Bengali can be seen at multiple places in the footage. The caps worn by uniformed personnel also appear to display “Bangladesh Police.” Investigators also noticed a stadium-like structure in the background. Comparing the visuals with street-view imagery available on Google Maps led to a match near the National Stadium area in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

‍

‍

‍

Further verification found a video uploaded on March 18, 2025, by a Bangladeshi news portal on YouTube containing scenes matching the viral clip. The caption described it as footage from an anti-encroachment drive in the Gulistan area of Dhaka.

‍

‍

A similar version of the video was also found on a Bangladeshi Instagram account uploaded on March 17, where it was again described as police action against illegal encroachments. The video credit was attributed to a person named Zahir Rehan.

While the exact date of the original footage could not be independently confirmed, available evidence clearly links the video to Bangladesh and not Nepal.

‍

Conclusion:
‍

The viral claim that Nepal has begun expelling Bangladeshis is false. The video actually shows an anti-encroachment drive carried out by authorities in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
