What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
The truth is that these assertions are unfounded and untrue. The police claim that throughout their investigation, they discovered that Rohit Dwivedi is the young man being beaten. The individuals who were assaulting him were all known.These two got into a fight during a friend’s birthday celebration, and in the same incident, roughly two months ago, Rohit was beaten in the Tatya Tope Nagar police station area of Gujaini. The allegations that a policeman was involved and beat him as he is a Brahmin are unfounded and untrue. The accused has been brought into custody by police, and more action is being taken.

Legal action is being taken against those spreading misleading news. When an investigation was done regarding a viral video of a fight on social media, it was found that the name of the young man who is being beaten is Rohit Dwivedi. All the people who are beating him are already acquainted with each other. There was a dispute between these two over something in a friend’s birthday party, in the same sequence, this fight was done with Rohit by the above mentioned people in Tatya Tope Nagar Police Station area Gujaini about 02 months ago and the video of the same has been made viral by someone today.
