“Video of burka-clad women who tried to cast fake votes in favour of Samajwadi Party in the ongoing 2022 UP Assembly elections”
What FACTLY found
The video shared in the post shows old visuals related to the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation elections. This video shows the visuals of Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) candidate Shaila Khan seizing fake Aadhar cards from a group of burka-clad women who tried to cast votes in a municipal election polling booth in Rampur. The video shared in the post is old and has nothing to do with the ongoing 2022 UP elections
