“A video showing a Muslim man being beaten to death by police in Madhya Pradesh for protesting against the Waqf Bill has gone viral on social media”
What FACTLY found
The video is from May 2020, showing two policemen in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, beating a man who was reportedly intoxicated and causing a disturbance. The incident was unrelated to the Waqf Bill protests, and no credible reports confirm that a Muslim man was killed in Madhya Pradesh in connection with the Waqf protests.
