What FACTLY found

This video is on the internet since 2016 and has nothing to do with the ‘Lucknow girl’ who beat a cab driver. It shows Anuradha Choudhary, a woman from Rajasthan who has a criminal history of crimes like kidnapping, extortion. The Lucknow police registered an FIR against the girl under IPC sections 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of Rs 50). There are no news reports as of now which confirm that the ‘Lucknow girl’ is arrested
