“The video shows a Muslim youth being beaten with belts by Hindutva supporters.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show a Muslim youth being assaulted by Hindutva supporters. The incident took place in the Mangal Bazaar exhibition area under the Banna Devi police station limits in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, on 2 June 2026. According to police, the assault stemmed from a personal dispute after a young man and woman were seen together. Three accused were arrested in the case, and police clarified that both the complainant and the accused are Hindus, ruling out any communal angle.
