Original review summary

The review finds that the video predates the Waqf Amendment Bill and shows officials from Bhagwanpur inspecting unregistered madrasas in Uttarakhand, not Uttar Pradesh. It says the action was part of a local administrative drive and was unrelated to the bill.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the same video was posted on 22 March 2025, before the bill passed, and identifies the police badge as belonging to Uttarakhand Police. [S1]

Parliament passed the bill on 2 April 2025 in the Lok Sabha and 4 April in the Rajya Sabha; the President assented on 5 April. [S1]
