A video is going viral on Facebook which shows a couple of people being beaten up by the Assam Police. It is being shared with the claim that the people being beaten up in the video are people whose name are not there in the National Register of Citizens (NRC) final list and are being taken to a detention centre. The caption, written in Hindi further says that if the video does not affect the viewer, they are not human beings and that this could happen the next day too with anyone’s family members.
