We came across a statement issued by the Lucknow Police on the viral video. It reads, &#8220;We have received a video through social media, in which a girl has been told to offer namaz after others remove the crown from her head. When we investigated the video, we found that it was recorded at the Shishu Bhartiya Vidyalaya in Malviya Nagar, Thana Bazar Khala. After speaking to the school manager and watching the entire video, we found that this was from a play staged by the children of the school. The message of the play was to not start conflicts in the name of religion and to maintain social harmony. Those tweeting the video are spreading misinformation, and we are working to take serious legal action against them.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Lucknow Police also tweeted an extended version of the viral video. It is clearly visible here that the children of the school are dressed up as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians, staging the different ways in which <em>Bharat Ma<\/em> (Mother India) is worshipped under each religion. This confirms that this video was clipped and has been shared with a misleading communal angle.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">\u091b\u094b\u091f\u0947 \u092c\u091a\u094d\u091a\u094b\u0902 \u0926\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e \u0938\u093e\u0902\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u093e\u092f\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u094c\u0939\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0926 \u0939\u0947\u0924\u0941 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0941\u0924 \u0928\u093e\u091f\u093f\u0915\u093e \u0915\u093e \u0938\u092e\u094d\u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923 \u0935\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u094b,\u091c\u093f\u0938\u0915\u094b \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0905\u0938\u093e\u092e\u093e\u091c\u093f\u0915 \u0924\u0924\u094d\u0935\u094b\u0902 \u0926\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e \u0917\u0932\u0924 \u0922\u0902\u0917 \u0938\u0947 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u091a\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0924 \u0915\u0930 \u0938\u093e\u0902\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u093e\u092f\u093f\u0915 \u0926\u094d\u0935\u0947\u0937 \u092b\u0948\u0932\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u0905\u092a\u0930\u093e\u0927\u093f\u0915 \u0915\u0943\u0924\u094d\u092f \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0917\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0910\u0938\u0947 \u0932\u094b\u0917\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0947 \u0935\u093f\u0930\u0941\u0926\u094d\u0927 \u0938\u0916\u094d\u0924 \u0915\u093e\u0928\u0942\u0928\u0940 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0930\u0935\u093e\u0908 \u0915\u0940 \u091c\u093e\u090f\u0917\u0940\u0964<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Uppolice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Uppolice<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eWBatkgnyc\">https:\/\/t.co\/eWBatkgnyc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oKOmLGVszX\">pic.twitter.com\/oKOmLGVszX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 POLICE COMMISSIONERATE LUCKNOW (@lkopolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lkopolice\/status\/1559181089100693504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Journalist Arvind Chauhan of the Times of India also tweeted a statement by a teacher named Pragati from the Shishu Bhartiya Vidyalaya.
