CHENNAI: A video of a boy in a school uniform being beaten has gone viral. Users claimed the incident is from Ayodhya, where organisers of the Ram Mandir Festival beat up the boy, a Dalit, for showering flowers.

AltNews found that the claim was false. In reality, the schoolboy from Faridabad went to a Geeta Jayanti programme where two teachers allegedly beat him up for flinging a flower at them.
