FACT-CHECK<\/h2>\n

On January 14, 2020, Irfan Pathan had shared a similar video of a crowd of youngsters on Twitter and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pathan has also posted the same video from his verified Tik-Tok handle.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pathan’s attire in the videos is the same. Although the 13-second video does not show the man sitting behind or the car very clearly but a glimpse of Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra is visible.<\/p>\n

Alt News checked Mitra’s Twitter account and found that he shared photographs with Pathan that same day.<\/p>\n

Some beautiful moments with ex-India cricketer par excellence Irfan Pathan for Kamarhati Premier Knock-Out cricket tournament organised by Kamarhati Development Society. Truly a moment to cherish to meet the man who is grace and humbleness personified. pic.twitter.com\/PCrGxyH1no<\/a><\/p>\n

Hence, it is evident that the video is from Pathan\u2019s visit to Kamarhati on the northern fringes of Kolkata on January 14, 2020, and not from Shaheen Bagh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
