The claim
The video shows a student picking up a tear gas shell fired by the police during the CJP protest and throwing it back at the officers.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the video is unrelated to the CJP protest and instead shows clashes during Nepal’s anti-government Gen Z protests. The review says the footage was online since September 2025 and was filmed in Kathmandu, Nepal.[S1]
Additional context
The CJP began a sit-in at Jantar Mantar on 20 June 2026, and protesters launched a “Chalo Sansad” march on 20 July, which led to clashes and detentions. [S1]
The review says matching footage appeared in September 2025 social media posts and media reports about Nepal’s protests. [S1]
