Trigger Warning: Descriptions of Violence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social media is rife with claims about migrants from Bihar being attacked in Tamil Nadu. In one such instance, a video<\/a> of a man lying in a pool of blood is viral with the claim that it is of a migrant worker from Bihar being attacked in Tamil Nadu. The man can be seen gasping for breath in the video. Alt News will only provide screenshots of the video due to its graphic nature. Abhishek Mishra, the IT head of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha’s (BJYM) Mehrauli unit in Delhi, shared the video with the same claim. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Media outlet Dainik Bhaskar posted a compilation of videos that apparently portrayed Bihari labourers being assaulted in Tamil Nadu. The clip in question can be seen in the very first second of that compilation. A snippet of the viral video can also be seen at the 0:19 minute mark.<\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

It is worth noting that one can hear words in Kannada being spoken in the background of the viral video. People can be heard saying “Who did this to him?”,\u00a0 “Someone has stabbed him” and “Please call the ambulance” in Kannada. Taking a cue from this, we performed a relevant keyword search relating to stabbing incidents in Karnataka. In the process, we came across several reports of a double murder that occurred at Doddabelavangala on February 17.<\/p>\n

As per a Deccan Herald report<\/a>, two locals, Bharath Kumar (23) and Prateek (17), were murdered during a brawl at a sports tournament at Doddabelavangala, 54 km northwest of Bengaluru. Prateek was stabbed with a dagger that remained stuck in his private parts while Kumar was stabbed in the lower abdomen. According to police, the two had nothing to do with the brawl.<\/p>\n

The report says both the victims were students and residents of Doddabelavangala, Karnataka.<\/p>\n
