A 10-minute clip of the same video is massively viral on Facebook.
A reverse image search of one of the frames of the video led us to the same clip uploaded on YouTube in 2009. It was described as, “Pak Army brutally torturing young & old Muslim Pushtoons in Swat”
Taking this as a clue, we time-searched for news reports on Google. According to a BBC report published on October 1, 2009, “Pakistani soldiers are seen apparently abusing Taliban suspects in a 10-minute video…It is not clear who shot the film or where. It appears to have been made recently, perhaps in the Swat valley. Pakistan’s army has said it needs to examine the video before commenting.”
The incident was also reported by Al Jazeera which said, “He [the man getting beat up] screams “Have mercy on me, oh God” in Pashto, the language of the northwestern tribal areas close to the Afghan border where the Pakistan army is engaged in anti-Taliban offensives.” The alleged incident was also reported by The Guardian.
