Fact Check: Gujarat cops cane stone-pelters in public for chaos during Holi? Find the truth here

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: A video is circulating on social media, claiming that Gujarat police punished an offender by caning him for allegedly causing a ruckus and pelting stones during Holi. The report is titled, ‘Viral video: Gujarat police beat up goons in Ahmedabad, leaving netizens ‘satisfied’.’ According to the report, on March 13, a day before Holi, a mob of 20 men attacked an SUV owner and vandalised nearby vehicles using swords and sticks. The accused include Aldeep Maurya, Shyam Kamli, Vikas alias Bittu Parihar, Ashil Makwana, Rohit alias Durlabh Sonawane, Nikhil Chauhan, Mayur Marathi, Pradeep alias Monu Tiwari, Rajveer Singh Bihola, Alkesh Yadav, Ayush Rajput, Dinesh Rajput and Deepak Kushwaha. Additionally, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation demolished the illegally constructed homes of seven accused, including Shyam Kamli, Ashil Makwana, Rohit alias Durlabh Sonawane, Rajveer Singh Bihola, Alkesh Yadav and Ayush Rajput. Therefore, we conclude that the claim of Gujarat police punishing a miscreant in the viral video by caning him for causing a ruckus and pelting stones during Holi is misleading.
