A video showing a group attacking another group with sticks has been shared with claims that it depicts a religious hate crime against a Muslim family in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. However, reports indicate that the video actually captures a personal dispute between two Muslim families.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter), @AmjadAsR wrote, “Look at the fury of UP. Posts should not stop until arrests are made. A Muslim family is being brutally beaten up by goons after entering their house!! The viral video is said to be a case of Bagdpur Kala of the Dehat police station area of Amroha!!” (Translated from Hindi).
