“The viral video shows a Muslim man being beaten by Sikhs for performing Islamic ablution in the sacred sarovar of the Golden Temple in Amritsar.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is unrelated to the recent Golden Temple incident. It shows an unrelated 2025 incident involving Suresh Rishi Jindal, who faced backlash for a derogatory Facebook post about Guru Gobind Singh in Malerkotla, Punjab. He later apologized in the presence of Sikh representatives and police. The man in the viral clip is not Subhan Rangreez, and the video predates the Golden Temple incident.
