Statue demolition in Haryana incorrectly portrayed as a brutal homicide, resembling the Meerut blue drum murder incident

In recent days, a viral video has circulated online, purporting to show a shocking discovery of a human body inside a cement pillar. However, a closer examination of the facts reveals that this narrative is not supported by the evidence.

Firstly, it's important to clarify that no news reports about the statue removal incident featured the false narrative of a dead body hidden inside the cement pillar. The viral video does not show a dead body found inside a cement pillar, as some may have assumed.

The statue in question was of a soldier named Kumbharam, who was part of Subhash Chandra Bose's Azad Hind Fauj. The statue was installed at an intersection in Arya Nagar village, Hisar, Haryana. However, the name of the soldier whose statue was removed by authorities on September 11, 2025, is not publicly disclosed.

The clearer version of the viral video was found in a youtuber's post, and it actually depicts a statue being removed in Arya Nagar village, Hisar (Haryana). The exact location where the video was filmed was found using Google Street View on Google Maps and is identified as Arya Nagar, Hisar, as reported by the media.

It's worth noting that no information was found about the source or origin of the viral video. Despite hints from the video reports (Saini Sweets signboard seen on the reports and the viral video), no information was found about the individuals or entities responsible for spreading the false claim about the video.

Interestingly, the villagers claimed that Kumbharam was not a soldier of the Azad Hind Fauj. Despite this claim, the historical records confirm that Kumbharam was indeed a part of Subhash Chandra Bose's Azad Hind Fauj.

Multiple news reports were found about the incident in Arya Nagar village, Hisar, Haryana, featuring the cylindrical cement pillar seen in the viral video. However, no news reports about such an incident featuring the visuals seen in the viral video were found.

It's crucial to approach information with a critical eye and verify claims before sharing them. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking in the digital age.
