Fake videos fuel fear as North Indian migrants from Tamil Nadu head home for festival
BENGALURU - North Indian workers in Tamil Nadu – a state in the country’s south – are thronging train stations to go home for an upcoming festival. But there is also an element of fear.
“My wife saw that fake video of Tamilians beating north Indian workers. I told her I was safe, but she is still scared,” said Mr Yadav. Since fake videos of attacks on northern workers surfaced online a few days ago, officials have largely controlled the unrest by acting swiftly. The Logical Indian , a fact-checking website in India, identified this video to have originated from Abeokuta, Nigeria. They were reportedly scenes of violent demonstrations by people struggling to buy essentials after the government there announced demonetisation.
Although the BJP is the ruling party in the Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is a minor player in the southern state that is governed by Mr Stalin’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam , a regional party.
