Claim:

Viral video shows BJP MLA Vipul Dubey assaulting his domestic help after he asked for his salary.

Fact Check: 

The Logical Indian Fact Check team verified the viral claim and found it to be false. The viral video is from 2022.

We conducted a keyword search to check if an incident of violence depicted in the viral video took place in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh. We couldn’t find reports indicating the same.

We then conducted a keyword search for the posts and came across a tweet by Jaunpur Police in which they refuted the viral claim. The caption of the tweet reads, “The case is not related to Jaunpur. Please do not share claims without correct information.”

We found that the incident is from Shahjahanpur and came across this report by The Quint. The report confirms that the viral video shows an incident in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The Quint report also stated that the accused’s name is Prateek Tiwari.

We also came across a tweet by the Shahjanapur police. In the tweet, Sanjay Kumar, the Additional Superintendent of Police, clarifies the context of the video. He states that the main accused, Prateek Tiwari, assaulted Rajiv Bharadwaj. Since the case is under investigation, additional details for a reason for the crime have not yet been provided.

The Shahjahanpur police arrested one of the accused while the main accused is still absconding. The Additional Superintendent of Police also states the victim is alive.

The Logical Indian team contacted Sanjay Kumar, the Additional Superintendent of Police, Shahjahanpur. He clarified that the main accused was Prateek Tiwari, and the victim was Rajiv Bharadwaj. The assault was due to an internal dispute related to the non-payment of dues. The main accused is not associated with BJP. A case was registered against Prateek Tiwari, Samittar, and four other unknown people under sections 147, 323, and 506 of the IPC.

Conclusion:

We found that the incident occurred in Shahjahanpur and it was caused due to a dispute between Rajiv Bharadwaj and Prateek Tiwari. The accused seen torturing in the video is not BJP MLA Vipul Dubey. Hence, the viral claim is false.
