      Extreme Right UK Voice Peddles Old Indian Video

      Conservative British media personality Katie Hopkins shared a 2017 footage of stone pelting as a recent protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

      Hopkins shared the 9-second clip in a tweet on December 16, 2019 with the caption: "The mentality of the Islamists protesting against the Citizenship Bill. Why would India want these types as citizens? Hindus build. Islamists destroy. Keep going Modi. Hooray for #CAB2019". Click here to view an archived version of the tweet.

      Why would India want these types as citizens?

      Hindus build. Islamists destroy.

      The footage showed a man wearing skullcap throw a stone at a bus.

      The tweet went massively viral with over 11,000 retweets and 22,000 likes.

      Fact Check

      BOOM did a reverse image search with several keyframes of the video, and found that the exact clip has been shared on a Facebook page called Shourya in August, 2019 with a caption in Hindi. When translated, it read, "No matter how much taxes you pay with your blood and sweat for the betterment of the country, these people won't need a second to ruin it. Who are these people?"

      This established that the footage was at least 4 months old and unrelated to the resent wave of anti-CAA protests.

      We looked for further results in the reverse image search and came across an even older video from January 2017 on YouTube, that spoke of a bus accident in Surat, Gujarat, which injured a pedestrian.

      According to the Gujarati caption, the bus accident had caused a huge uproar, following which a mob pelted stone at the BSRT bus.

      The clip shared by Hopkins is a shortened version of the longer clip found on YouTube. The extended version shows another youth along with the man wearing a skullcap vandalise the bus.
