Fact Check:
On investigation, DFRAC found many media reports regarding this video. ‘Indian Express’ states “In a new video shared by BJP’s West Bengal unit president Sukanta Majumdar, a strong TMC leader Jayant Singh and his associates are seen brutally beating a man by holding his hands and legs at a local club in Kamarhati in North 24 Parganas district. Jayant Singh was arrested after surrendering to the police on July 4 for his involvement in an incident. Apart from Jayant Singh, the police have also arrested 9 other people related to the case”.

Conclusion:
DFRAC’s fact check clears that the video is of an incident in West Bengal and the main accused in this incident is Jayant Singh associated with TMC. Therefore, the claim of social media users that a woman was beaten up by Muslims is misleading.
