“This video of a person stomping on another person is from the recent eviction drive in Assam”
What FACTLY found
The video in the post was taken in 2011 during a police firing incident in Forbesganj, Bihar and not from Assam. A video clip of a government-appointed photographer stomping on a person in Assam went viral recently. On 23 September 2021, at least two protesters were killed, and multiple police personnel injured when an eviction drive led to clashes between police and the people at Dholpur area in Assam’s Darrang district. However, the video in the post is not related to Assam
