Fact Check: Man in viral video using abusive language against Hindus claiming to be Muslim turns out to be Hindu

A viral video circulating on social media featuring a man named Javed Hussain allegedly making derogatory comments about Hindus in Haridwar has been debunked as false.

The video, which was widely shared on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), stirred controversy as it portrayed a man from the Muslim community insulting Hindus and using abusive language against Brahmins.

The man who claims to be Javed Hussain can be heard saying that there are no Hindus in Haridwar who can fight against Muslims. He calls the Brahmins from the Hindu community ‘dogs’. The man filming Javed Hussain states that Hinduism, unlike Islam, is a tolerant faith, and hence, he sat there and heard Hussain insult Hindus.

Right-Wing propaganda outlet Sudarshan News journalist Sagar Kumar (@KumaarSaagar), who has been found sharing communal misinformation multiple times in the past, also shared the viral video with a caption in Hindi that can be translated as: “Save my Uttarakhand ЁЯСП”. The tweet has received over 89,000 views and has been retweeted over 4,000 times.

However, a fact-check conducted by Alt News revealed that the man in the video was actually a beggar named Dilip Bhagel. Haridwar police confirmed that Bhagel was lured into making such inflammatory statements under the influence of drugs. The police emphasized that the video was a result of impersonation, not a genuine expression of communal sentiments.

Haridwar Police's official X handle shared a video featuring Dilip Bhagel, where he confessed his real identity, stating that he was coerced by someone at the Ganga ghat to make the provocative statements and use the name 'Javed Hussain.' The police urged citizens not to fall prey to false conspiracies and assured strict action against those sharing misleading posts.

In conclusion, the viral video does not represent the views of a genuine individual from the Muslim community insulting Hindus. Instead, it showcases an impersonation incident involving a Hindu man who was manipulated into making the controversial statements while under the influence of drugs. Haridwar Police has taken cognizance of the matter and is investigating the case further.
