On Facebook, user Babu Ram Singh shared the video claiming that “In protest against the brutal lathi-charge on lawyers by the police in Hapur, the lawyers of the high court in Prayagraj took out a funeral procession of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. The collision between lawyers and the government is at its peak. The government can do whatever it wants… Must watch the video.” (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The video and the claim also went viral on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Hapur, police had allegedly lathi-charged lawyers on August 29 when the latter were protesting against the registration of a case against a woman advocate and her father. Later, Uttar Pradesh Police lodged an FIR<\/a> over the alleged incident naming 51 policemen and mentioning 90 unnamed personnel.<\/p>\n

Please do not spread unconfirmed and misleading news, otherwise, legal action will be taken against you.”<\/p>\n

We broke down the viral video into key-frames using Invid software and then reverse-searched one of them on Google. This led us to a 2019 video report by Khabar Jagat 24, titled ‘\u0935\u0915\u0940\u0932\u094b\u0902 \u0928\u0947 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u0940 \u0936\u0935\u092f\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0930\u093e \u0928\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0932\u0940’ (Translation: Lawyers took out the funeral procession of the state government), which reported that in September 2019, Prayagraj high court lawyers carried out a funeral procession of chief minister Yogi Adityanath as a symbol protest against the BJP-led UP government for introducing the state education service tribunal<\/a> in Lucknow.<\/p>\n
