      Video Of Assault On Sri Lankan Monk Revived With False Links To Swami Anand Swaroop

      Claim

      An edited video of a monk caught in a compromising position with two women is viral falsely misidentifying the monk as Swami Anand Swaroop.

      An X user shared the 1 minute 47 second video which has two clips - one of the monk in a compromising position with two women and the other of Swaroop advocating for the creation of a Hindu nation.

      It is viral with a caption in Hindi that translates to, "Speak devotees speak, Hail Shri Shri Swami Anand Swaroop Maharaj........Hail to thee.Hail to thee." (Original caption: बोलों भक्तों बोलो , श्री श्री श्री स्वामी आनंद स्वरूप महाराज की जय हो........जय हो जय हो)

      FactCheck

      BOOM had fact-checked the same video when it was viral with a false communal claim earlier. We had then found a Hindustan Times Tamil report featuring screengrabs of the video which identified the monk as a Sri Lankan Buddhist named Pallegama Sumana Thera.

      The report detailed that in Sri Lanka's Nawagamuwa, Thera was attacked along with two women inside a temple premises by a mob when they took longer than usual to come out of a room.  It further said, eight individuals were arrested in connection to the attack.

      A comparison shows that the man in the video is not Anand Swaroop who has been in the news recently for demanding the creation of a Hindu nation.
