Burkha Man Video From Sri Lanka Revived As Person Caught Trying To Vote

BOOM had previously debunked this video when it was being falsely shared as a man apprehended after the bombings in Sri Lanka.

Claim

A Muslim woman is being abused while trying to vote.

Fact

This is not a video of a man caught wearing a burkha while trying to vote. BOOM had previously debunked this video when it had gone viral as a Sri Lankan bomber apprehended. In 2018 a man wearing a burkha was arrested before he could stab a bank manager in Colombo, according to a Sri Lankan Radio Station.
