Meerut: A video of Korean students from New Delhi, who were visiting the Chaudhary Charan Singh University in Meerut, allegedly being ragged by a group of men in the name of religion has gone viral on social media.

The Meerut Police, however, has issued a statement refuting the verbal assault on the visiting students.

The police officers have said in the statement that the video shows the youngsters questioning the Korean students about their names and religion. The video, which was publicized by people, was fake as the incident did not occur, the police have added.

Senior journalist Mohammed Zubair, has also shared the video on his Twitter handle.

Zubair has posted, “Korean Students studying in Delhi had visited Chaudhary Charan Singh University, UP. Here's how they were welcomed by Right Wing goons. A guy can be heard saying "Ye Christian Missionaries hai, Jo yaha ana chah rahe hai" Police denied conversation claim.”
