What FACTLY found
The video is from Solapur, Maharashtra, not Uttar Pradesh. It shows an Iftar gathering hosted by Solapur Police Commissioner Harish Baijal for Urdu school students on 27 April 2022. While the Samajwadi Party has hosted Iftar parties when it was in power, this video has nothing to do with Uttar Pradesh.
