The claim
Video of BJP leader, Rajesh Biju being thrashed by DMK party workers.
Original review summary
The video shows S. Subbiah, a BJP leader, and his supporters assaulting Rajesh Biju, a fellow BJP member—not DMK workers. The review says the assault followed suspicions about Rajesh’s involvement in a video of Subbiah consuming alcohol circulating on social media.[S1]
Additional context
Greater Chennai Police said the video depicted an incident on 31 July 2023, arising from a personal dispute between two political-party factions in Nanganallur. [S1]
