Incident from Sri Lanka<\/h2>\n

A Pakistani handle had uploaded the video on the website\u00a0dailymotion.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in October 2015. This was also uploaded with a similar claim –\u00a0“Indians caught an old man wit cow and see what they did.”\u00a0<\/em>However, the dialect spoken by the people in the video did not sound akin to any Indian languages or neighbouring countries in the north.<\/p>\n

Alt News contacted Lisa Fuller, a journalist who reports on conflict and human rights in Sri Lanka. She informed that the people in the video are conversing in Sinhalese. The man was not force-fed cow urine or alcohol but was given water when he asked for the same.\u00a0“He had stolen a cow. When asked why he did so, the man replied that he didn’t have anything to eat,”\u00a0<\/em>said Fuller.<\/p>\n

Fuller also sent us the same clip uploaded by a YouTube user in April 2015 who described it as – “Muslim Stole Cow in Sri Lanka.”\u00a0<\/em>This was a longer version of the 30-second video shared on social media. As evident from the footage, the man wasn’t force-fed as he does not resist or stop the person from making him drink the water.<\/p>\n
