“Visuals of police arresting DU professor Ratan Lal, over his social media post related to Gyanvapi Shivling”
What FACTLY found
It is true that DU professor Ratan Lal was arrested for his alleged objectionable social media post about the reported discovery of Shivling in Gyanvapi Mosque. He was later granted bail. However, the viral visuals are not related to this arrest but show Chandigarh Police arresting lockdown violators back in 2020
