Is this an image showing female Muslim voters from West Bengal who came to cast vote for 2024 general elections?

Currently, an image of a gathering of Muslim women in Burqa is going viral on social media. Users are claiming that these Muslim women came to cast vote for 2024 general elections in West Bengal and total Muslim votes in the state was 78%. 

Fact Crescendo found the claim to be misleading. This is an old image and not related to West Bengal or the 2024 general elections. 

What’s the claim?

Sharing the image, a social media user wrote, “You may be thinking that this is a scenario of voting from Pakistan. But no. This is a queue of Muslim women who came to cast their votes in West Bengal. West Bengal had given accommodation to a lot of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi Jihadis and now these people are helping TMC to win in elections.
