Fact Check: Video Of Brothers Fighting Over Property At A Rajasthan Crematorium Viral With False Claims

Date:

A video has gone viral on social media in which some people can be seen fighting amongst themselves. It is being claimed that the fight took place at a cremation ground due to paucity of wood to cremate the body. The post claimed that the fight was essentially between two groups who were arguing as to which body should be cremated first.  

The video is being shared on Facebook with a caption in Hindi that translates to, “This fight is happening only because on one thing, who will get the wood first to burn the dead in the crematorium. What have we come to?”

(Original Text: यह लड़ाई सिर्फ इस बात पर हो रही है, श्मशान में मुर्दा जलाने के लिए लकड़ी पहले हमे मिले. आखिर हम किस मुकाम पर आ गए है?…. सोचो और सोचो…)
