      Petrol Pump Worker Abducted In Saudi Arabia Falsely Shared As Uttar Pradesh

      A video showing a gas station worker being abducted in Saudi Arabia has been shared on social media with a false claim that it it is an incident of Badaun, Uttar Pradesh.

      The video is doing the rounds on social media in the backdrop of rising fuel prices. The 24 second long video shows visuals of a gas station worker being forcefully pushed into a car, which then speeds away.

      The video has been shared on Facebook with a caption in Hindi, "Ramrajya. A petrol pump employee was kidnapped in Uttar Pradesh since he had the total earnings of the day with him. Incident is from Badaun in Uttar Pradesh... petrol pump owners should be prepared for such incidents now since bhakts have decided even if they have too loot petrol and diesel but... next time too..."

      See the video below.

      (Original text in Hindi: रामराज्य उत्तर प्रदेश में पेट्रोल डालने वाले कर्मचारी को ही उठा ले गए क्योंकि उसकी जेब में दिन भर का पेट्रोल का कैश था। उत्तर प्रदेश के बदायूं की घटना...वैसे अब पेट्रोल पंप मालिको को ऐसी घटनाओं के लिए तैयार रहना होगा, क्योंकि भक्तो ने ठाना है चाहे पेट्रोल डीजल की लूट करनी पड़े लेकिन ..... आएगा तो ..........!!!)

      The video has been widely circulated on Facebook with the same claim.
