Fact-check: This ETV Bharat screenshot claiming that members of the Valmiki Samaj were not allowed to enter the Supreme Court is edited - FACTLY
Verdict: this viral screenshot of the etv bharat news report is edited. the original news report, published on 18 august 2024 by etv bharat about the valmiki society supporting the supreme court's recent judgment on sc/st sub-categorization, has been digitally altered and is being shared to spread misinformation. there are no reports of the supreme court of india denying entry to members of the valmiki samaj on the basis of caste or claiming that their presence would render the court impure, either recently or in the past. hence the claim made in the post is false.
