DeTect: Video of mob thrashing ‘sadhus’ shared with false angle

CHENNAI: A kidnapping incident at Mathura railway station had created a furore on social media. Last month, a video of a man abducting a 4-month-old infant from Mathura went viral. Since then, many reports have emerged about persons being thrashed on suspicion of kidnapping.

One such video claims that the men seen in the clips are child kidnappers disguised as sadhus. Alt News found that the video is not that of kidnappers but that of thieves in the guise of sadhus. Locals from a village in Raisen, MP, had nabbed one such group, whose video went viral.
