      Pregnant Woman Injured By UP Police Lathi-charge In 2018 Viral As Recent

      Distressing footage from 2018 showing a pregnant woman cry in pain as onlookers claim that she was allegedly beaten by the police, is being shared falsely as recent.

      The video is viral in the backdrop of ongoing anti Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests in Uttar Pradesh and around the country.

      In the 30 seconds clip one can see the woman crying with pain while holding her stomach, as onlookers can be heard saying that police beat the woman with a baton.

      The video is being shared with the caption, "Yogi's police have hit with a lathi at a pregnant woman protestant's womb at Eco garden. It is viciously wrong and shameful."

      FACT-CHECK

      We broke the video into key-frames and ran a reverse image search using Yandex, a Russian search engine which search results showed that the incident had taken place in September 2018, and not was not recent as claimed.

      We found an article by The Lallantop dated September 6, 2018, reporting on the incident which stated that B.Ed. and TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) pass teachers were agitating at Eco Garden in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on September 5, 2018, demanding recruitment.

      The protesters had reached the Gandhi statue at Hazratganj that day, where the Lucknow police had stopped them after which there was a lathi-charge during which Mukta Kushwaha, who was pregnant at the time was hit by a baton on her stomach reported The Lallantop. BOOM could not independently verify the same.

      After the incident which can be spotted in the viral video, people at the spot had helped Mukta and she was taken to the hospital in a police jeep.

      The condition of the woman or the child, following the incident is not known.
