However, as we investigated, we came to know that the viral video was misleading. The woman getting beaten was a drug peddler and the incident had no communal aspect. Here’s the fact check.

Fact Check

In the video, the people can be heard speaking in the Manipuri language. With the help of our Manipur Team, we got to know that they were asking the woman where she got the drugs and whom she was supposed to give. The lady was shouting, “o, Ema. Aibu Kanbiyu” which means, “Oh Mother please protect me”.

Moving forward, using relevant keywords, we came across a tweet from Manipur Police. Mentioning the video, Manipur Police said that the claim is fake. 

They tweeted, “#FAKE

Miscreants beat up a woman alleging to be involved in drug peddling.

Police have taken up a case in this regard.

There is no communal angle in it”.
