In what can be called a deliberate attempt to mobilise, and spread fake news, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday tweeted a video from Bangladesh claiming it as scenes of violence on Muslims in India. video posted by Pakistan Prime Minister clearly shows Police personnel wearing vest of Rapid Action Battalion, an anti-crime and anti-terrorism unit of Bangladesh Police. This comes at backdrop of BJP leading a nationwide campaign in India for outreach on recently amended citizenship law, and for quashing fake news on it. 

Even as re have been nationwide protests in India against act, Imran Khan spread misinformation on CAA, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has been targeting Muslims. However, it was found that  video is from Bangladesh.  video had been circulating widely on social media after CAA was passed by Parliament and protest began by sections of some media. 

On doing a fact check, it was found that gory video of Police beating up protesters is from Dhaka, Bangladesh, and is around seven years old. In video, vest can be seen with RAB written on it, clearly proving it to be scenes from Bangladesh. 

When  screengrab from video was searched on Google, reports suggested that, on May 6, 2013, Dhaka witnessed a clash between protesters and police over blasphemy law. protest was organised by group Hefazat-e Islam, demanding an anti-blasphemy law with provision for death penalty.
