Viral since 2017<\/h2>\n

The identical video has been doing social media for the\u00a0last two years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was also shared\u00a0in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is the truth?<\/h2>\n

The claim that a Brahmin was beaten by Muslims to stop him from praying is false. The same message was debunked by the Kolkata police in a series of tweets when it was viral in 2017. According to the police\u2019s statement, the man was a Hindu priest who allegedly molested a woman and was manhandled by her family as a consequence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A video posted on Youtube two years ago shows moments before the priest was thrashed. Here, he can be seen attempting to allegedly rape the woman.<\/p>\n
