The claim
The video shows a clash between police and civilians who were protesting and demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resignation following the recent 2025 Pahalgam terror attack.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the video had been online since at least January 2020 and was not related to tensions following the 2025 Pahalgam attack. It says the same visuals appeared in a January 2020 post describing a clash between JNU students and police.[S1]
Additional context
The review says it could not independently verify the video’s exact date or location, but concluded that the video predates the Pahalgam attack. [S1]
