FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claims attached to the video to be FAKE.
On putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we came across the same video being tweeted by a GEO News journalist Murtaza Ali Shah. He described that the video is from Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani’s funeral.

“The world’s largest ever funeral procession is currently underway in Iran. Tens of thousands have gathered to honor General #QassemSoleimani who helped to defeat ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Daesh in the Middle East,” Shah wrote in the cation.
On digging further, we came across several posts with the same video confirming it to be from Soleimani’s funeral.
Hence, the above information proves that the viral video is not from CAA protest in Mangalore.
