A video of a group of boys being beaten and forced to chant 'Pakistan Murdabad' is making the rounds on social media. It is being claimed that people who raised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad' in Ujjain were made to chant 'Pakistan Murdabad'.

Alt News had published a report on viral videos of the function where 'Pakistan Zindabad' chants cannot be heard.
