VERIFICATION AND METHODOLOGY

Times Fact Check had earlier

the same video in March this year, when it was going viral with another false claim. Self-proclaimed Soviet-Afghan war veteran

had posted the video then claiming it shows how Muslims are treated in India.

Several Twitter users replied to Hamid’s tweet pointing out that his claim is false and that the incident took place in Sri Lanka.

Taking a cue from those replies, we used relevant keywords on Google and Facebook and found videos of students being allegedly ‘ragged’ in Sri Lankan universities.

Facebook user ‘North Central' had

the same video then with hashtags #EasternUniversity and #ragging.

Another Facebook page ‘

’ shared the video with caption “sri east university learners (eastern university of Sri Lanka) (sic)”.

Facebook user Saadhullah Jawaamil had shared this video on February 26, 2019 with the caption “Eastern University of Sri lanka 2019- Ragging”.

Ragging is reportedly a menace in Sri Lankan universities. A similar video was posted in 2017, that showed water being hurled at students. The video was captioned ‘University of Colombo (ragging)’.

VERDICT

Times Fact Check has found that an old video of students being ragged in a Sri Lankan university is being shared with a false claim that Kashmiri Muslim women in India are being attacked.
