What FACTLY found

The visuals are related to an old incident that took place in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, back October 2021. The visuals show police lathi charge on miscreants who pelted stones during a procession on Milad-Un-Nabi in Jabalpur. These visuals have nothing to do with Uttar Pradesh. Further there are no recent reports of police lathi charge for offering namaz on roads in Uttar Pradesh
