Using relevant keywords, we looked for the _ABP News_ _report_ and came across one published on 25 DECEMBER 2018. The Hindi report noted that the man, identified as BJP leader Mohammad Miya
attacked a disabled man after he repeatedly said that he would vote for Akhilesh Yadav. The report further notes that when journalists standing near the area tried to intervene, they were
also mistreated. Another _report_ by _NDTV India_ noted that as per Miya’s statement, the man raising the slogans was inebriated when he made rude remarks against the Prime Minister and
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. A _Times of India __report_ stated that the incident occurred on Monday, 24 December 2018. Infuriated by his actions, Miya took out a cane from his vehicle
and assaulted the youth. Speaking to_ TOI, _Sambhal superintendent of police Yamuna Prasad said that Miya had “criminal antecedents” and was a “known history-sheeter at Asmoli police
station”. He added that Gujjar was taken into custody and that no member of Gujjar’s family had visited the police station. _TOI _further stated that Gujjar was released from jail the next
evening. Clearly, a three-year-old video of a BJP leader beating up a disabled man with a cane for supporting the Samajwadi Party was shared on social media as a recent incident, ahead of
the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh. _(Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified? Send us the details on WhatsApp at 9643651818, or e-mail it to
