The video has been shared on both Twitter and Facebook.
कल गुजरात हुआ और हम सोते रहे
फिर मुज़फ़्फ़रनगर हुआ फिर भी हम नींद से नहीं जागे
कश्मीर का नंबर आया तब भी हमारी ग़ैरत नहीं जागी
और आज #त्रिपुरा के मुसलमान आज सड़कों पर निकल अपने ऊपर हो रहे ज़ुल्म के ख़िलाफ़ एहतिजाज कर रहे हैं, क्योंकि दंगाइयों द्वारा उन्हें, उनके मकानों, उनकी दुकानों और उनकी इबादतगाहों को निशाना बनाया जा रहा है।
क्या हम अपनी बारी आने का इंतेज़ार कर रहे हैं ?
त्रिपुरा के मुसलमानों के लिए आवाज़ उठाने को
आपका #मुस्लिम होना ज़रूरी नहीं , बल्कि आपका #इंसान होना ज़रूरी है।

Facebook user Md Irfan who identifies as a member of AIMIM also shared the video with the same claim. It drew close to 3 lakh views and over 14,000 likes before he took it down.
Several people commented on Irfan’s post stating that he has shared the video with a false claim. One of them said that the video is from UP. Another user said that the video shows a funeral procession.
A keyword search based on these clues took us to an India Today broadcast from May 10, 2021 on COVID-19 guidelines flouted during the funeral procession of a religious leader in UP’s Budaun.
The location in both videos matches.
According to India.com, the funeral procession was organised for Islamic cleric Abdul Hameed Mohammed Salimul Qadri. The police filed FIR against unknown persons after a video showing large crowds went viral on social media.
