“Video of protest rally in Mumbai against Tripura violence”
What FACTLY found
The video is from Lahore in Pakistan and not from Mumbai. The visuals are from Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi’s Chehlum held on 03 January 2021. Chehlum is a religious observance in Islam held 40 days after the death of the person. Though protests & bandh were held against Tripura violence in five districts of Maharashtra including some parts of Mumbai, this video has nothing to do with Maharashtra or Mumbai
