What FACTLY found

The video in the post is of an unrelated incident that took place in 2016 in Asansol, West Bengal, where Union Minister Babul Supriyo and his convoy were allegedly attacked. The person in the video is a BJP party worker who was allegedly being attacked by Trinamool Congress supporters in front of the police. The video has nothing to do with the MLA or farmers or Ghazipur which is in Uttar Pradesh (UP)
