“The video shows police brutality, with officers kicking and assaulting a protester during the factory workers’ protest in Noida.”
What FACTLY found
The video is unrelated to the Noida factory workers’ protest. It shows an incident from Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, where police detained an intoxicated man who was creating a disturbance at an electronics shop. Uttar Pradesh Police, in an X post, clarified that the viral video has no connection to Uttar Pradesh Police or Gautam Buddha Nagar district.
