The video he shared is circulating in the backdrop of communal violence in West Bengal’s Telinipara<\/a> sparked after members of a community taunted another group as “corona”. Several shops were ransacked and the two groups also hurled bombs at each other. The police has so far arrested 129 people for the clashes. Parande’s tweet by quote-tweeted by ABVP member and VHP spokesperson Vijay Shankar Tiwari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twitter user Akash RSS shared the video and wrote, “The day Muslim population crosses 50% in India, this will be the condition of all Hindus,” he wrote (archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Akash RSS is \u2018Akash Soni\u2019. In a 2017 report<\/a>, Alt News had investigated that he was the man behind a popular fake news website Coverage Times. Another report published in June 2018<\/a> revealed that he was one of the individuals running misinformation and propaganda Facebook page \u2018BJP All India\u2019. Soni was also found to be behind the targetted harassment of journalist Ravish Kumar<\/a> through a WhatsApp group.<\/p>\n

In fact, the clip is viral on Twitter<\/a>. One Nitin Shukla added a ‘Rohingya angle’ to the claim. He wrote, “I repeat – Palghar wasn’t an accident but an experiment. After Sadhus, common citizens are being lynched. It is being said that this video is from Bengal. Rohingya are catching hold of local Hindus and breaking their arms and legs. Tomorrow, it will be your turn.” An archived version of his tweet can be accessed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Going through the comments section of the above post on the page ‘Abu Hossain’, we found people claiming that the incident is from Bangladesh where the men were beaten for stealing autos. In the video as well, we could hear the word ‘auto’ uttered by someone in the crowd. Using this as a clue, we searched videos on Facebook with Bengali keywords ‘\u0985\u099f\u09cb \u099a\u09c1\u09b0\u09bf \u09ac\u09be\u0982\u09b2\u09be\u09a6\u09c7’ which translates to ‘auto theft Bangladesh’. This redirected us to several posts from March 2019.<\/p>\n

On March 24, 2019, Bangladeshi page ‘News media Bangla’ shared the video with the caption, “A thief was brutally beating for stealing an auto. Was it okay to thrash him in this manner? What do you think?”<\/p>\n
