An old video, which shows a group of Sikhs beating up a Naga sadhu on the road, is being shared with a number of misleading claims online. One of the claims state that it is a recent incident after the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) victory in Punjab this month.
In the recently concluded state elections on March 10, 2022, AAP led by Bhagwant Mann recorded a landslide win to come to power in the state for the first time.
The video is being shared with the caption, "Naga Sadhus have a respectable place in our Sanatan Dharma. But what is going on with a Naga Sadhu after the formation of AAP government in Punjab? @BhagwantMann sir Strict action should be taken against the culprits by checking the veracity of the video."

Sikhs in Punjab beat up a Naga sadhu and force him to prostate before them. The reason they are slapping, kicking and humiliating the sadhu is because they want to do this to every Hindu. After Modi replaced Manmohan as PM, hatred of Hindus has increased in Punjab. pic.twitter.com/GzssXYdYtz
