Claim: Video shows a massive crowd at the funeral procession of Mukhtar Ansari.
Fact-check: An old and unrelated video is being falsely shared as a video of Mukhtar Ansari's funeral procession - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video depicts the funeral procession of sufi scholar and sunni muslim leader murshid shah saqlain miyan that took place in bareilly in october 2023. however, according to reports, a large number of people gathered outside ansari's house and at the burial ground in ghazipur during mukhtar ansari's funeral procession, where he was laid to rest on 30 march 2023. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
