A video of a fight on a construction site has gone viral on social media.

Users claim construction workers from Bihar were attacked by the locals of Tamil Nadu.

Fact Check

NewsMeter found the claim to be false.

On performing a simple reverse image search, we found the same visual on Twitter by Arabic users with the caption, ā€˜Workers quarrel on the roof of a building under construction.ā€™

Moving further, we also found a media report by Almashad A Lan (Arabic news website) with the stills from the same video title, 'The strangest quarrel of construction workers on the roof of a building under construction, "The battle of Al-Amdan"..video'.

Moreover, we could not find any credible media reports on North Indians or Biharis being attacked by locals in Tamil Nadu so far.

Hence, it is evident that the video is completely unrelated to the recent Tamil Nadu controversy.
