FACT CHECK: VIDEO SHARED WITH FALSE NARRATIVE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While it is true that the person did set his own car on fire, Alt News found that the narrative accompanying the video on social media is false. The incident had occurred<\/a> in September 2019. It is NOT related to imposition of heavy penalty for traffic violation, as claimed.<\/p>\n

Clarifying over the incident, Mathura police had put out a video on Twitter, wherein SSP Mathura Shalabh Mathur explained that the standoff and the ensuing drama was the outcome of a domestic matter. He said, “The entire incident was orchestrated by one Shubham Choudhary along with his female friend, over a domestic matter. He had informed his family about creating a scene, so that he could get attention. The role of his family is also being probed. Investigation is currently on, and the man along with his female friend have been charged under relevant sections of the IPC.”<\/em> (translated from Hindi). The video is posted below.<\/p>\n
