NEW DELHI: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday tweeted an old video of Bangladesh from his handle to paint India in poor light.The move by the Pakistan PM comes on a day when a mob in Pakistan pelted stones at Gurdwara Nankana Sahib and could possibly be an attempt to divert attention from the incident, which has been strongly condemned by India.Imran Khan tweeted an old Bangladesh video which shows gory images of violence unleashed by the Rapid Action Battalion of the Bangladesh Police . The Pak PM tried to portray it as violence by Indian police against Muslims in UP.The tweet was later deleted by Imran Khan.The unsettling video shows a violent crackdown on unarmed people by men in uniform. Uniformed personnel could be seen wielding lathis and shooting. The video also shows men on the ground, profusely bleeding.Rapid Action Battalion or RAB is an elite anti-crime and anti-terrorism unit of the Bangladesh Police. It consists of members of the Bangladesh Police, Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Air Force, Border Guard Bangladesh and Bangladesh Ansar.The video Imran Khan has tweeted is from Bangladesh and is of an incident that happened seven years ago.On seeing the video closely, one can notice RAB written on the uniforms of the men donning them. A simple search on Google using 'RAB police' as keywords, we figured it stands for Rapid Action Battalion, the anti-terrorism wing of the Bangladesh Police.We then ran reverse-image searches that led us to a video on video- streaming website DailyMotion with the title 'Genocide in Dhaka Bangladesh on 6 May 2013' .The video had the same visuals as in the one tweeted by Khan.We then used relevant keywords on YouTube to find a video with exact same visuals.Violent clashes broke out in Dhaka between police and members of a Islamist group called the Hefazat-e Islam on May 5 and May 6, 2013. The video Khan tweeted is of those clashes and has nothing to do with India.The Uttar Pradesh Police also tweeted stating that the incident is from Bangladesh.
