What is the truth?
If the tourists who came to India were attacked by the Hindutva organization, it would have become sensational news all over India. Also, the attackers in the viral video are not like the Hindutva organization, all the people there are dressed to suit the beach.
So, while taking keyframes from the video and doing a reverse image search, in 2016 a YouTube channel reported that a foreign woman was fighting with Indians on the Baga beach in Goa.
When the same video went viral on social media in 2017 claiming that a foreign tourist was attacked for chasing a cow in Goa, the ABP News reported, “This video was uploaded on YouTube in the year 2012 (5 years ago) The video was certainly shot in Goa but it is old and the reason that the foreign tourists were beaten was after a fight broke out between a restaurant owner and them over using restaurant benches without paying money for the same. In Goa, normally one has to order some food or drinks to use such benches placed outside the restaurants.”
Conclusion
The video claiming that a foreign woman who came to Goa tried chasing away a cow that had come to pollute her belongings and ended up getting beaten up by Hindutva Sangparivars is fake.
It is a video of a clash between a restaurant owner and a foreigner in a restaurant near Goa beach and was taken several years ago.
