A video showing two men harassing an elderly Muslim street Peddler is going viral on social media. The clip is being shared with the claim that two Hindu men chased the elderly street peddler and threw his food on the road.

Sharing the video, the handle Asia Decoded wrote, ”Behavior of Hindutva Boars: An elderly Muslim street peddler, who somehow managed to afford one meal a day by selling fried rice and dal, was ruthlessly chased away by two boars of Hindutva rogues, and his foods were violently threw and spilled on the ground.”

Another handle, Vikram asserted, ”What kind of justice is it to torment an elderly person like this? By destroying the poor man’s livelihood in this way, what religion is this lowlife trying to uphold”

The video was also shared by several other handles, including MuslimsinIndia, Hoorfin, Rebellionaire1, and Inba Mr Humanist.

Fact Check

During our fact-checking process, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and performed a reverse image search. Through this, we found that the same video was shared by the Facebook page Muklesur Ali.

Further, in our investigation, we closely examined the Facebook page Muklesur Ali and found that he himself is a Muslim and regularly shares such staged or scripted content depicting similar scenarios.

We also found his YouTube channel named Muklesur Bhaijaan 2.0 on his Facebook page. Upon examining the YouTube channel and carefully watching the videos uploaded there, we found that the elderly man shown in the viral clip has also appeared in several videos posted on Muklesur Bhaijaan 2.0, which indicates that the person shown in the viral video is not a victim of a real incident but a participant who appears repeatedly in staged content.

In conclusion, the video does not depict a real incident. The clip is staged content shared by the Facebook page Muklesur Ali, which frequently posts similar scripted videos featuring comparable scenarios.
