“Video of journalist Pragya Mishra’s murder for speaking about the role of Kumbh Mela in increasing covid cases”
What FACTLY found
The video actually shows a man stabbing his wife as he suspected her of having an illicit affair in Delhi’s Rohini. The video has nothing to do with the UP based journalist Pragya Mishra. In fact, Pragya Mishra herself clarified through a tweet that she is in home isolation in view of COVID-19 protocol and it’s not her in the viral murder video
