What FACTLY found
The visuals are related to an incident which happened in May 2019. Clashes broke out between two groups over construction of a Masjid on a land, to which ownership was contested by two factions. It is in this context the police took Raja Singh into custody and released him later. The viral video is related to this incident and has nothing to do with Muslims offering prayers on roads
