“Photo showing a pastor’s family being publicly paraded naked for preaching the gospel in Uttar Pradesh”
What FACTLY found
The photo shared in the post shows a 2015 picture of a Dalit family protesting naked outside the Dankaur police station in the Gautam Budh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Alleging that police had refused to register a complaint of robbery, the Dalit family stripped themselves and protested against the inaction of police outside the Dankaur police station. The naked men and women in the photo were not punished for preaching the gospel and they do not belong to a pastor’s family
