“This is how Hindus are killed and their deaths are made to look like an accident,” is a message shared with a CCTV video of a man in a skull cap beating another man with a rod.

कुछ इस तरह हिंदुओं को मार कर एक्सीडेंट साबित कर दिया जाता है केरल में।

कुछ इस तरह हिंदुओं को मार कर एक्सीडेंट साबित कर दिया जाता है केरल में।

इस जेहादी की उस हिन्दू से कोई परिचय या दुश्मनी नहीं थी.

सिर्फ अकेले में मौका मिला तो उसने ऐक और हिन्दू कम कर दिया

अगर cc tv न होता तो ये जेहादी कभी न पकड़ाया होता।।।

सावधान रहें-सतर्क रहें।।

It is quite widely circulating on Facebook. Alt News has also received verification requests on its WhatsApp helpline number +91 76000 11160.

The same clip was circulating earlier in February.

It was also shared with a differently-worded message – “We lack killer instinct, including me. We worry abt the consequences later. They are like “Jo hoga dekha jayega”. @narendramodi this is increasing their power! Please take some strict action (sic),” wrote Twitter user @TheMehtaji while another suggested that the Muslim community in India should be economically boycotted.

BJP Delhi social media head Naveen Kumar also shared the video. He wrote, “कपड़ों से पहचाना जा सकता है” referring to Prime Minister Modi’s statement during anti-CAA protests that those inciting violence “can be identified by their clothes”. His tweet was quote-tweeted by @seriousfunnyguy who is followed by PM Modi and BJP leaders Piyush Goyal, Smriti Irani and Kapil Mishra.

BJP supporter Sonam Mahajan tweeted, “Miyan bhai ki darin in true sense.” Several people in her comments believe that a Hindu man was attacked in India.

Another user @thakkar_sameet who is followed by PM Modi also shared the clip. It has also been circulated with Tamil captions.

Video from Sri Lanka

In the background, people can be heard talking in Sinhalese. This was the first clue that suggested the video could be from Sri Lanka.

Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka contacted Galaha police station in the central province of Sri Lanka. Acting OIC Rodrigo told the outlet that the attack was not religiously motivated. “The Muslim person is mentally ill. He suddenly engaged in the attack. We arrested him immediately and kept him in police custody. At present, the injured person is being treated at the hospital,” he said.

According to Fact Crescendo, the incident took place in the Galaha area of Kandy.

The attack has not been reported in Sri Lankan media but it is circulating in the country’s social media ecosystem.

A video of a Muslim man attacking a person in Sri Lanka was shared to malign the Indian Muslim community. As confirmed by the police, the incident does not have communal overtones but the perpetrator, who is now arrested, is mentally unstable.
