“Video shows police baton-charging (lathi charge) farmers in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh.”
What FACTLY found
This video has no connection to Madhya Pradesh. The viral video shows police baton-charging (lathi charge) farmers protesting against JSW Cement Company in Sarasani village, Nagaur district, Rajasthan, on 08 January 2025. Moreover, there are no credible reports of police acting on farmers recently over land acquisition for the Adani Power Plant in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. It is worth noting that both Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are currently governed by the BJP.
