“Video showing the funeral procession of Rajasthan Dalit boy Indra Meghwal”
What FACTLY found
The video shared in the post shows the funeral procession of Jilajeet Yadav, an Indian army soldier who was martyred during the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama in August 2020. Jilajeet Yadav’s funeral procession took place at his native village in the Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The video is old and has nothing to do with the recent death of a Dalit boy in Jalore, Rajasthan.
