Claim: Recent video of police brutally thrashing Kanwariyas in West Bengal.
Fact-check: Old video shared as recent visuals of police brutally thrashing Kanwariyas in West Bengal - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shared in the post shows one-year-old incident visuals of west bengal police lathi-charging lord shiva devotees at the bhootnath temple in kolkata. the kolkata police thrashed lord shiva devotees for violating covid-19 restrictions imposed by the west bengal government. the video shared in the post is old and had nothing to do with the recent kanwar yatra. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
