DeTect: Police catching thieves, given a false narrative

A video of cops escorting a man who has been shot in his leg has gone viral with the claim that the police ‘taught him a lesson’ after he reportedly pulled a gun and threatened to remove a Durga Puja pandal in Azamgarh. Alt News found a tweet by a news editor who confirmed that the video pertains to a group of miscreants in Noida, caught by the police. The group used to offer lifts to unsuspecting people and later coerce them to withdraw money from ATMs.
