Claim: Images showing three Muslims killed in Bengaluru police firing when they were protesting Nupur Sharma's statements on Prophet Muhammad.
Fact-check: Old images shared as people killed in Bengaluru police firing during protests against Nupur Sharma's comments on Prophet Muhammad - FACTLY
Verdict: the images are from a 2020 incident in bengaluru; and not a recent one. in august 2020, a large muslim crowd protested an alleged blasphemous facebook post insulting prophet muhammad made by a local politician in bengaluru. as the mob set fire to vehicles and attacked policemen, the police fired on the crowds; hence killing three and injuring several others. there are no recent reports of police firing in bengaluru when during protests against nupur sharma's statements. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
