Claim: Video showing people protesting Nupur Sharma's comments, killing a police officer in Kolkata.
Fact-check: No, people protesting Nupur Sharma's comments had not killed this police officer in Kolkata; He shot himself - FACTLY
Verdict: though the video is from kolkata, the police constable shot himself dead; nobody killed him. a police constable named choudup lepcha opened fire indiscriminately from his rifle on 10 june 2022. before he shot himself, his firing killed a woman and injured two others. the incident happened at lower range road in kolkata, which was 500 metres from the bangladesh deputy high commission. a kilometre from the incident, hundreds of muslims were holding protests against nupur sharma's comments on prophet muhammed. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
Organisation: FACTLY
