“Banner requesting to refrain from offering namaz on road was put up in Meerut following the police action in Agra”
What FACTLY found
This banner was setup outside a mosque in Meerut back in 2019. The banner was setup following a police initiative. Few news articles published the same image in their reports related to the police initiative back then. Thus, this banner has nothing to do with Agra police’s action of filing charges against 150 persons, for offering namaz on road
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
