The message also attempts, to take a jibe at the erstwhile UPA regime, by stating that the Sri Lankan police is not serving them “Briyani”. It may be noted that this jibe, reiterated by the members of the Bharatiya Janata Party time and again in the past, is also based on misinformation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Few more individuals on Facebook have shared the video<\/a> with the identical narrative.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

Alt News had earlier debunked<\/a> the same video when it went viral on social media with a false claim that it depicted the Pakistani army personnel thrashing their own soldiers as a punishment for deserting the army earlier this March. This video has been available on YouTube as early as February 2019, a good two months before the Sri Lanka bomb attacks. Thus, a video available on the internet since February 5, 2019, cannot be representative of an event, which happened in April 2019.<\/p>\n
