    • Video Of Man Attacked With Hammer Shared With False Communal Spin

      A disturbing video showing two men violently attack a man with sledgehammers on a busy road in Faridabad, Haryana, is circulating with a false claim that it shows a communal attack.

      BOOM found that both the assailants and the victim belong to the same community. We reached out to DSP Nitish Agarwal, Haryana Police, who confirmed that the victim, Manish Gurjar was attacked by three men, over personal enmity and belong to the same religion and caste.

      The video shows graphic visuals of a man being beaten by two men with a rod and a sledgehammer in broad daylight.

      A Twitter user shared the video with a caption, "And this is India on Daily basis against minorities. It is shameful that US, Human rights orgs and Western media are keeping a blind eye for their own business benefits: #Faisalabad #SolidariTea4Kashmir"

      (Note: the video is disturbing in nature)
