Several users have circulated the clip using the same narrative.<\/p>\n

The video was earlier shared as atrocity carried out by Pakistani army in Balochistan.<\/p>\n

Old video<\/h2>\n

The video in question is not recent but two years old. According to a\u00a0PTI\u00a0<\/em>report republished by\u00a0Deccan Herald<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>“A student of Pulwama Degree College is purportedly seen pinned to the ground by four army personnel and being thrashed with a cane.”\u00a0<\/em>This report was published on August 15, 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several other media outlets, including Pakistani media<\/a>, had reported the alleged incident.\u00a0The Indian Express<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>quoted Defence spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia who said that the veracity of the video is being ascertained. \u201cAction will be taken against those found guilty of misconduct,\u201d<\/em> Col Kalia said.<\/p>\n

As per\u00a0DNA<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the video emerged just a day after the army had tied a man to their jeep and paraded him in Budgam district in 2017. This was to bring “stone pelters” in control.<\/p>\n

There are several clues in the video which suggest that it was indeed shot in India – advertisements of Airtel and Nerolac, both of which are Indian companies. Furthermore, a banner on the right has ‘Srinagar’ printed on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An old video is currently viral, giving the impression that the incident is recent. Earlier, a video of Kulgam blast from last year<\/a> was viral as recent atrocities in Kashmir. A 2018 video<\/a> of an alleged human shield incident was also circulated as a recent event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
