When searching with relevant keywords we found an article by Free Press Journal published in November 2022 carrying a screengrab of the viral video. This article reported that the incident happened on 29, August in the Kolar area but the video went viral in November.
It further mentions that a 16-year-old class 12 student was beaten by a group of men who have fought with his schoolmates already. This boy was beaten for not letting them know the address of another student the group of men asked for. No mention of the acid attack threat or anything as claimed in the viral posts is mentioned in the article.
The Dainik Bhaskar article mentioned the names of the accused as Richard, Lucky Malviya, Sandeep and Harshit. The police have registered a case against the accused and started searching for them. No mention of the victim’s name as Dilshad or that he is a Muslim is seen anywhere in the articles that we referred to. And the story mentioned in the viral posts is completely unrelated to what has happened.
We contacted Kolar Police Station, Bhopal from Youturn to confirm the identity of the person being beaten up in the viral video. It was clarifed that the video is related to a fight between school students in Kolar. And the name of the accused are confirmed as Richard, Lucky Malviya, Sandeep and Harshit, the victim is identified as Uday Pratap Singh Yadav, son of Sanjeev Kumar Yadav.
Conclusion
It is found that the boy was beaten by a group of men for not revealing one of his schoolmate’s address to them. But the video is shared with a false claim that the boy Dilshad was loving a girl, threatening to throw acid on her, and ended up beaten by her brother and his friends. A complete story is framed to accuse the victim of false communal spin.
