      Video Of Cops Beating Pro-Hijab Protesters In UP Shared As Karnataka

      A video showing police personnel use batons on a group of hijab-clad protestors is being shared on social media with captions falsely claiming that it shows the current state of Karnataka.

      BOOM found that the video is from an incident that took place in Khoda Colony of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh where UP police lathi-charged a group of pro-hijab protestors.

      Fact-Check

      BOOM did a reverse image search and found the same video shared on Twitter on February 16 by a user called Sachin Gupta. Gupta's Twitter profile mentions him as a journalist.

      In his tweet, Gupta claims that the incident in the video happened on February 13 in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad District.

      The English translation of the caption he shared with the video reads 'In Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district, police lathi-charged women protesting in favor of hijab. Two arrested, including a woman named Muskan. The video of February 13 has surfaced now. Police said that the women engaged in indecency, scuffles and abuses.'

      UP के जिला गाजियाबाद में हिजाब के पक्ष में प्रोटेस्ट कर रही महिलाओं को पुलिस ने लाठियां मारी। मुस्कान नामक महिला समेत 2 गिरफ्तार हैं।

      13 फरवरी की वीडियो अब सामने आई। पुलिस ने कहा- महिलाओं ने अभद्रता, हाथापाई, गाली-गलौच की थी। #Ghaziabad pic.twitter.com/jecrkDNmpO

      — Sachin Gupta (@sachingupta787) February 16, 2022

      We found a reply from Ghaziabad police's verified account on Sachin Gupta's tweet confirming that the incident did take place in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, and not Karnataka.

      The tweet stated that Ghaziabad police was informed of a protest near Shani Baazar at Ghaziabad's Khoda area. They then claimed that after approaching the protestors and asking them for permission for protesting, the protestors engaged in scuffles, after which they were apprehended.

      BOOM reached out to Khoda Police and Sachin Gupta for more information but got no response. The report will be updated when we hear from them.
