A video has been posted by a page called ‘ Digital Congress’ on Facebook with the title ‘PM Imran Khan was beaten by Pakistani nationals’. Let’s try to analyze the claim made in the post.

Claim: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was beaten by Pakistan nationals

Fact: Imran Khan fell from a stage and got injured at an election rally in 2013. So, the claim made is FALSE.

When searched for ‘Imran Khan Injury’ on Google, a link to a YouTube video can be found in the results. The description below the video clarifies ‘Imran Khan sustained head injuries and was rushed to hospital after falling off a lift taking him onto the stage for an election rally’. The timestamp shows that the video was uploaded in 2013. So, there is no truth in the claim made in the post.

Finally, Imran Khan was not beaten up by Pakistan nationals. He met with an accident during an election campaign in 2013.
