Following the victory of the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, social media is rife with several types of claims targeting the party. Against this backdrop, a video is being widely shared in which some people wearing turbans are seen beating up a Naga Sadhu. It is being claimed that atrocities on Hindus have begun in Punjab after the AAP\u2019s election win in the state. Facebook user Ramesh Dalwani posted this video with the same claim.

Alt News performed a keyword search<\/a> on YouTube, which led us to a video that had been posted in 2017<\/a>. However, it did not contain any additional information about the incident.<\/p>\n

Upon further research, we found a report by the Daily Mail<\/a> dated August 6, 2014, carrying the video. It is mentioned here that a video of a group of Sikh men beating up a sadhu was posted online. It is worth noting that in 2014, a coalition between the Akali Dal and the BJP was ruling in Punjab, with Parkash Singh Badal<\/a> serving as the chief minister.<\/p>\n
