A video is getting viral on social media. In this video, it can be seen that some boys are being beaten up by the police and the national anthem is being sung by them. Social media users are sharing this video claiming that some Muslim boys from Rajasthan went to visit Kashmir. There they shouted slogans of Pakistan Zindabad and will not allow India to become a Hindu nation, after which the Indian Army troops beat up these youths fiercely and made them sing the national anthem.
A user shared this video and captioned it: “ Many Muslim boys of Rajasthan started raising slogans loudly in Kashmir “Pakistan Zindabad” and will not allow India to become a Hindu nation.
Indian soldiers thrashed the anti-nationals who raised slogans in such a way that their voices almost stopped. Long live India.” ( English Translation)

Fact Check:
To fact-check the viral video, the DFRAC team first converted the video into a few frames. Afterward, the team did a reverse search of the frames. We found a video uploaded on BBC News Hindi’s YouTube channel on 25 February 2021. The title of this report is – “What is the condition of the people who were beaten up and sung National Anthem in Delhi Violence?”

The description of this video states that – “In February last year, there were riots in the country’s capital Delhi. A video of them in the riots went viral from North East Delhi. In this video, some injured people were lying on the road, who were being forcibly beaten, and sang Vande Mataram. One of the injured, Faizan, died. Look at what their families are doing after one year and what the rest of the victims say now.”
At the same time, the team also found the report of Indian Express. According to the report this incident happened in Delhi.
Conclusion:
It is clear from the fact check of DFRAC that the viral video is not of Rajasthani Muslims. Youths in Kashmir were beaten up by the army after raising Pakistan Zindabad slogans during the Delhi riots. Therefore, the claim of social media users is wrong.
