What FACTLY found

The post shared an old photo of a demolished Hindu temple in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This incident took place in 2015, during the BJP government’s rule in Rajasthan. As part of the Metro rail construction in Jaipur, the district authorities and Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) demolished two temples in Jaipur. The photo shared in the post is old and has nothing to do with the recent anti-encroachment drive in Alwar
