This video is not from Haryana but from the Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan. The man seen in the video was assaulted in September 2022 for allegedly having an affair with a married woman.
A video of a group of men beating up a naked man in a room has been shared widely on social media. Allegedly, this video is from Haryana and those sharing it are demanding "appropriate action" from the authorities.
For example, one Twitter user wrote, “Haryana - A truck driver was beaten up badly by people on charges of theft of diesel, video should be investigated and strict action should be taken against these goons.” The archived versions of such claims can be seen here and here.
AFWA found that this video is not from Haryana but from Rajasthan’s Hanumangarh district. The man in the video was assaulted in September 2022 for allegedly having an affair with a married woman.
AFWA PROBE
Reverse-searching keyframes from the video led us to a Dainik Bhaskar report about it. According to the report, Subhash, 23, of village Badbirana in the district Hanumangarh of Rajasthan allegedly had an affair with a married woman for six months. When her relatives discovered this, they called Subhash to their village on September 29. When he arrived, they allegedly abducted him, stripped him naked, and assaulted him in a hotel room. Later, they took him to a field and beat him up till he lost consciousness.
Subhash suffered several injuries. The assailants also threatened his family against filing a police complaint. Days later, however, the video of his assault went viral. Following this, a complaint was registered at the Gogamedi Police Station. Seven people, Kishan Thori (32), Ravindra Mothsara (30), Ramesh Thori (31), Subhash (34), Satpal (35), Sonu Nayak (30) and Lala (33) were named in the complaint.
An Aaj Tak report on this video also confirmed the same.
