“The video shows RJD spokesperson Kanchana Yadav being beaten by the police.”
What FACTLY found
The woman featured in the viral video is not RJD national spokesperson Kanchana Yadav. The video actually shows a woman named Jyothi being lathi-charged by the police in Maddur, Mandya, Karnataka, on 08 September 2025, during a protest rally by pro-Hindu organisations following an alleged stone-pelting incident on a Ganesh Visarjan procession in Maddur on 07 September 2025.
