What FACTLY found
It is true that Kanpur police had resorted to lathi charge to control the protesters who were protesting over remarks of Nupur Sharma on Prophet Mohammad in a television show. However, the viral visuals are not related to the recent lathi charge in Kanpur. These visuals are actually related to anti-CAA protests in Gorakhpur, back in December 2019. News agencies have reported these visuals back then
