“Image of a newspaper clipping that mentions the arrest of a BJP leader for links with the Naxals”
What FACTLY found
Although the news about the BJP leader’s arrest for connection with Naxal’s is true, it happened back in June 2020. This news is digitally added to a news clip of Navabharat dated 05 April 2021, which reported the recent deadly attack by Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur. The arrest of BJP leader has nothing to do with the recent Chhattisgarh incident
