Claim: Video of UP police arresting a person who threatened to remove a Durga Puja Pandal in Azamgarh.
Fact-check: Video of police arresting 'screwdriver' gang in Noida is shared as the Azamgarh incident - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is from an incident in noida when police arrested a group of four miscreants. the group was infamously called as 'screwdriver' gang as they would attack the victims with screwdrivers and later rob them. the group were identified as anand verma, shiv kumar verma, deepak verma and bablu verma. however, the azamgarh police did arrest a person and registered a case for waving illegal firearm at a religious place . the accused was identified as ansar ahmed of azamgarh, who threatened to remove durga puja pandal and kill people. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
