The video is old and shared with fake claims that upper-caste mob attacked Dalits for resisting the molestation of Dalit women, but in the video it can be clearly heard that the child was killed for not paying school fees. Upon research we found full details of the horrific incident in which a teacher thrashed 13 years old student for not paying Rs 250 as school fees,the young boy was admitted hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.The incident took place on 8 August 2022 in Shravasti UP. Nothing to do with caste or religion. Action was taken against the teacher.
