Digital fact-checkers confirmed that a viral video showing a hostel warden assaulting students was falsely shared online as depicting recent student demonstrations in Delhi.
Verification of the video clip established that the incident took place at an educational facility in Uttar Pradesh months earlier and had no connection to ongoing student protests in the national capital.
Law enforcement authorities urged social media users to refrain from mislabeling older media clips to generate false narratives surrounding public demonstrations.
