However, Commissioner of Police, Karimnagar, Telangana State, shared a video of the Muslim man where he clarifies that he was beaten up over a personal issue and there was no communal side to it.

He mentions how it took place over a ‘love story’. He was reportedly beaten up for allegedly harassing a teenaged girl over last few days. The police have registered a case against five persons who beat him up under various sections of the IPC.

The man’s father also came on record to confess how it was his son’s fault which led to the incident and even apologised for the same. He too clarified that there was no communal angle to it.

However, alert Twitter users were also quick to point out who were spreading the fake news that there was no communal angle to the incident.

Delete it, it’s fake, fight happened because of love affair, to gain sympathy these Muslim youth gave it communal color to the incident. — Mubashir (@rubusmubu) June 1, 2019

Its had been clear through videos that it was whole and sole personal issue that has been given rise to unnecessary distress among people . The person he -himself condemned and also his father has condemned that it is no where related to politics or political parties. — jamalmohammed (@mohdjamalBJP) June 1, 2019

This incident comes close on heels of the Gurugram incident where another Muslim man had claimed that he was beaten up and his skullcap forcefully thrown away. The police investigation had revealed that no such thing had happened and his skullcap fell on its own in the brawl that took place.
