A disturbing video is doing rounds on social media in which two men are seen assaulting a woman and whisking away a girl on a tractor.
The claim on the video says, “In Pakistan, Hindu mothers and sisters are forcibly taken away in front of their kids. All Hindus must share this so that the world and those Hindus who are opposing NRC and CAA and supporting Congress come to know of this.”

FACT CHECK:
When a reverse check was done on the video keywords, it was found by a media portal, another media report was found which stated that the incident took place in Bap Tehsil in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan on September 11, 2017.
The report says that two men were arrested after a video of them abducting a minor girl and beating up her mother went viral on social media. Reportedly, one Ahmad Khan got his minor daughter married to a man called Shaukat. However, the girl’s mother did not want her to stay with Shaukat till she attained 18 years of age.
The video went viral two years back as well with another misleading claim, which was debunked by a fact-checking website.
Verdict:
Therefore the final verdict is that it is clear that the viral video is not from Pakistan but India itself. However, reports of atrocities on minorities in Pakistan abound.
A report by tells the story of two Hindu sisters, Reena and Raveena, who were abducted, forced to convert to Islam and married off to Muslim men in Pakistan. The girls had later become the face of forced religious conversions in Pakistan.
