I Am Right Here If They Want To See My Injuries: Lathi-Charged Farmer
Amit Malviya, head of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) IT Cell on Saturday shared a cropped clip showing a security personnel swinging a baton at an elderly Sikh farmer, to claim that the man was not injured by security forces.
However, a longer version of the video shows the farmer was targetted by not one but two security personnel – with the first security personnel taking aim at the farmer.
BOOM also tracked down the old man and identified him as one Sukhdev Singh. Singh who is currently at the Haryana-Delhi border told us that he sustained injuries to his forearm, back and calf muscle…. Right wing websites like Political Kida and OpIndia used a clipped version of this video, showing just a few seconds culled from the full video, of the security personnel swinging his baton but missing Singh….
