      No, This Is Not UP Police Thrashing Anti CAA Protesters

      A disturbing video of Indore Police beating miscreants in public view has resurfaced with claims that it is from Uttar Pradesh where anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protesters were taught a lesson for destroying public property.

      The 2 minute 20 second long video shows police taking turns to thrash lawbreakers as they cry for help. The video has been captioned as, "UP police presents a short film Result of Stone-Pelting. People who destroy country's property should be treated like this."

      BOOM found that the incident happened in 2015 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, where cops thrashed miscreants publicly.

      The video is viral after the announcement of CAA that triggered nationwide protests since December. Uttar Pradesh in particular witnessed major violence, as protesters went on a rampage and pelted stones at the police, ransacked a police outpost and set vehicles on fire. Police in turn resorted to lathi charge. Read more here.

      The video is a series of incidents that happened in Indore, Madhya Pradesh in May, 2015. According to the ABP News bulletin, Indore Police rounded up criminals and thrashed them publicly on various instances to set an example and ensure no crime was committed in the city.

      The bulletin featured both the clips that are viral with the fake claim. Indore police had reportedly argued that they beat up criminals publicly to alleviate terror in the city.
