“Recent video of a Hindu woman thrashing a Muslim man accusing him of harassment after the release of ‘The Kerala Story’ movie”
What FACTLY found
The video shared in the post shows a three-year-old incident that took place in the Madikeri town in Karnataka. A married woman, with the help of her husband and police, thrashed the youth who allegedly harassed her by sending vulgar or lewd messages. The accused was a Muslim named Mohammed Mudasir. But the incident is old and has nothing to do with the recently released film, ‘The Kerala Story’.
