A video of a few injured people lying on the road, being forced to sing the National Anthem is being shared on social media with a claim that the video shows Indian Army personnel punishing people who raised pro-Pakistani slogans in Kashmir.
“कश्मीर में सैलानी बनकर गए कुछ लोग पाकिस्तान जिन्दाबाद ,और हम भारत को हिन्दू राष्ट्र नहीं बनने देंगे के नारे लगाने लगे , फिर जो भारतीय सेना ने उनकी खातिरदारी की बो देखिए ।” the video caption read.

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be false.
We extracted the keyframes of the video using the InVid tool and put them through Reverse Image Search. The search led us to a video report by The Wire uploaded on YouTube on August 19, 2021. “Three Policemen Who Forced Injured Men to Sing National Anthem During Delhi Violence Identified,” the video was titled.
The translation of the description read: Policemen accused in the case of forcibly making people sing the national anthem during the Delhi riots have been identified. Three policemen have been identified in this case and the police will now conduct a lie detector test of all the three accused, although till now the three accused policemen have not been arrested in this case.
Taking a hint from this, we ran another search and found teat the same video was shared by Nyoooz TV on February 25, 2020. The video was titled, “WATCH: Police force injured ‘anti-CAA’ protesters to sing national anthem.”
