Fact Check: This Viral Video Is Not Associated With Rally In Support Of Nupur Sharma

Date:

A video is being shared on social media, claiming that it shows Hindus protesting in support of Nupur Sharma.

The video is shared with the caption: “नुपुर शर्मा के समर्थन में उतरे जम्मू के हिंदू। अब विश्व देखेगा हिंदू की एकता और ताकत” (English translation: “Hindus of Jammu came out in support of Nupur Sharma. Now the world will see the unity and strength of Hindus”)

The link to the post can be seen here.

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile did the fact-check, and found it to be delusive.

On doing a Google Reverse Image Search, we found the same video was uploaded by a YouTube channel on April 17, 2022, with a caption: “Delhi Jahangirpuri today news|Bajrang Dal Delhi Jahangirpuri today|bajrang Dal WhatsApp status Delhi.”

Taking a hint, we searched with appropriate keywords and found a similar video was uploaded by the Facebook page of Vishwa Hindu Parishad on April 19, 2022, mentioning that the video was of a procession during Hanuman Jayanti in Noida.

We also found a report by NavBharat Times saying that a procession was taken out by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal in Noida during Hanuman Jayanti.

While there are reports of Hindus taking out a procession in support of Nupur Sharma, the viral video is old and not associated with it.

Hence, we can ascertain that the viral claim is misleading.
