The accused who beat up a Muslim man in Loni, Ghaziabad were caught and beaten up by the public.

Fact Check:

The viral claim is false.

In the incident which happened in Loni, Ghaziabad, the police have arrested 3 people so far, and 3 people are absconding. Therefore the claim being made in the video looks suspicious. Searching the internet, we did not find any such report that the accused were attacked by a mob.

After analyzing comments on the video in Facebook posts, we found that some users have attributed it to Jahangirpuri, Delhi. When we did the reverse search with Key frames taken from the video, we found that the same video has been shared by local media organizations and journalist of Delhi on June 13, 2021, as the Jahangirpuri incident.
