Some users of the Alt News application requested us to verify this claim.<\/p>\n

FACT CHECK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alt News broke up the video into multiple key-frames using the InVid tool. Reverse searching one of the frames on Google, we found some news reports which stated that this incident had occurred at Anantpur in Andhra Pradesh. These reports were of June 2019, suggesting that it is a recent incident. Using specific keywords, we found more news reports related to the incident.<\/p>\n

According to a local news publication Sakshi Post<\/em><\/a>, the incident was the fallout of a love affair. The name of the victim is Shivayya, and he would occasionally go to Anantapur Arts College to meet a friend, where he fell in love with a female student. Upon hearing this, another student of the college, Bharat, called Shivayya to the campus on June 25 where he along with 25 others pounced on the victim.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In order to find out more about the incident, Alt News contacted SDPO of Anantpur, P N Babu who said, “The incident occurred outside the commerce wing of the Anantpur college campus, and we have arrested four people. The incident is not related to the college in any way and neither the aggressor nor the victim is from the college. This incident occurred due to a fight over a love affair.”<\/em><\/p>\n

ETV Andhra Pradesh<\/em><\/a> had published a video report of the incident, in which the police’s statement can be heard (posted below).<\/p>\n
