“Eight youths in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, were arrested and beaten in jail for cutting off a cow’s tail and throwing it at a temple.”
What FACTLY found
The video dates back to June 2022, when the Uttar Pradesh (UP) police reportedly detained and assaulted people protesting against controversial remarks made by BJP spokespersons about Prophet Muhammad. The police found no evidence against the detainees, and the local court discharged them, leading to their release on 03 July 2022. The viral video is unrelated to the recent Rajasthan incident, where a cow’s tail was allegedly found inside a temple.
