Investigation
We used a keyword search to investigate the viral video. We did not find any recent report on any such incident, but there were many reports of such an event in 2019. According to the news published on 5 May 2019 on thelogicalindian.com “In a shocking incident, a peaceful protest turned violent after a cop trying to capture the demonstration on his phone ended up assaulting a medical student on May 1. The incident took place in Alluri Sitarama Raju Academy of Medical Sciences (ASRAMS) when a group of medical students, who were protesting against the management, met the police officials.” According to reports, a constable in civil uniform was recording girl students. When the students saw this, they tried to snatch the camera from him. This is where the scuffle started.
We also found the same video uploaded on a YouTube channel named Philomina in 2019.
We contacted ASRAM Medical College, Hospital and Research Center via phone in this regard. The Administration Controller of the college told us that no such incident has happened in the college recently. However, the video is from 2019 when this incident took place.
