Watch the Reel on Instagram ↗The trick: Attacks the person
It attacks the person instead of what they said (known as personal attack).
"दो हज़ार तेईस में मई में इसने अपने एक दोस्त के साथ मिलकर लूटपाट को अंजाम दिया था।"
A person's past criminal record does not automatically prove whether or not they were physically attacked in a separate, later event.

How it tries to persuade you
It wants you to think: "The Delhi Police deliberately reinstates compromised officers to stage fake injuries and political dramas."
Nothing in the evidence shows that the Delhi Police reinstated Kasana specifically to stage political dramas, nor does a past arrest prove his current claims are fabricated.
- Incredulity as proof: "अगर तीस चालीस तो छोड़ दस बंदे भी तुझे मार देते तो ये होंठ आठ सूजे मिलते थे, आंख लाल मिलती। साफ साफ झूठ बोलने वाला है।". The creator decides what physical injuries should look like based on personal speculation, ignoring the actual medical examination Kasana underwent at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
Does this look wrong?
