UMERKOT, Jan 28 (TNS): A video, being circulated on social media, claims that women are being snatched and raped by affluent people in Sindh’s Umerkot district as the local police continue to turn a blind eye to the grave human rights violations.
Police have also identified the video as fake news and issued a strong rebuttal.
The incident, according to a statement issued by SSP Umerkot Usman Ijaz Bajwa, took place in India’s Rajasthan state in September 2017.
The malicious propaganda to portray the human rights situation in negative light had earlier targeted Tharparkar district when captions attached to the video had claimed that the incident had happened in that district.
The video has now resurfaced, claiming that the human rights violation shown in the video happened in district Umerkot and requested viewers to spread the video to ‘expose the local police’ and ‘support the poor and meek.’
