A video of a man being brutally beaten up by a mob is doing rounds on social media with a claim that the man being assaulted is BJP MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar and he was beaten up by farmers at the Ghazipur border.
“एक और #भाजपा विधायक #नंदकिशोर गुर्जर को गाजीपुर बार्डर पर किसानों ने #नंगा करके #कुटा कुटाई चालू है,” the Facebook post read.
(Translation: Another BJP MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar was stripped naked and beaten by farmers at the Ghazipur border.)
