The video of a man beating a young boy has gone viral on social media, claiming that the incident took place in a madrasa in Uttar Pradesh.
The video is being shared in context with the recent disturbing incident in UP, where a teacher, Tripta Tyagi, was heard asking students to slap a Muslim student.
The post read: “पहाड़ा नहीं याद करने पे एक महिला शिक्षक कें ख़िलाफ़ सारे जिहादी एकजुट होकर विरोध कर रहे अब नीचे वाले वीडियो देखिए, जैसे हर जुर्म करने के बाद “धर्म काँ मज़हब नहीं होता” बोलकर गुमराह करते हैं वैसे ही इस वीडियो पे कोई भी दलाल मीडिया कीं आवाज नहीं निकलेगी!” (English translation: All the Jihadis are unitedly protesting against a female teacher for not remembering tables, Just like after committing every crime, they mislead by saying “Work has no religion”, similarly no voice of media will come out on this video.)
