Fact-check: Video of an incident at a school in Uttar Pradesh is being shared with a false communal narrative linking it to Karnataka - FACTLY
Verdict: the visuals in the viral video show an incident that occurred on 02 july 2024, at bishop johnson girls school in prayagraj, uttar pradesh. there is no communal angle involved in this incident. both the removed principal and the new principal are christians. according to reports, the woman who was forcibly removed from her seat is parul solomon. she was removed from the post of principal in february 2024 on charges of being involved in the uppsc's ro-aro paper leak case. after her dismissal, sherlyn massey was appointed as the new principal. however, when massey came to take charge, parul solomon locked the door from inside and resisted vacating the principal's seat, leading to a commotion in her chamber, as seen in the video. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
