What FACTLY found

While it is accurate that three Muslim youths were apprehended in connection with the tragic death of a young girl, who was run over by a motorcycle after they pulled her dupatta, the visuals currently circulating do not portray these particular suspects. In fact, the images are related to a separate incident involving murder suspects from Rajasthan who are shown crawling after being shot during their arrest
