At least two people whom PM Narendra Modi follows on Twitter, Gaurav Pradhan<\/a> and Hardik Bhatt<\/a>, also shared this video on their timelines.<\/p>\n

Even though this video was shared initially in mid-November, it is still viral on social media and is being shared actively everyday. The text accompanying the video is identical across all the posts which suggests that this video is viral on WhatsApp and people are copy-pasting the text while uploading the video to their Facebook timelines.<\/p>\n

However, this video is not of a SP cabinet minister beaten up for inciting riots. This video has been available on YouTube for over six years. The video that is being shared on social media is a clipped portion of the following YouTube Video which was posted on April 24, 2011.<\/p>\n
