FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.
Doing a keyword search, the NM team traced a Facebook post carrying the same viral video on April 16, 2022. In the video, at the 13:15 time stamp, Bittu Bajrangi can be heard saying the exact words found in the viral video. He alleges that certain officials have been pressuring him to divulge the identities of his associates who took part in a rally where swords were prominently displayed.
We also found news articles stating that on April 10, 2022, Bittu Bajarangi orchestrated a rally where Suresh Chavhanke, proprietor of Sudarshan News, served as the principal guest. Authorities probably questioned him about this rally.
Moreover, in a YouTube video, dated April 13, 2022, Bittu Bajarangi addresses the media, explaining how his emotional outburst went viral on social media.
Thus, it is clear that 2022 video of Bittu Bajrangi is falsely linked to the recent Nuh violence.
