MISLEADING
The footage is genuine, but the location and date attached to it are misleading. Fact Crescendo identified it as earlier Delhi footage, not the October 2 Mumbai event.
What was claimed
A video shared by Zahid Badshah (@zaidalizahid) on X on October 2, 2026 was presented as showing the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park.
What the fact-check found
Fact Crescendo reported that “Delhi Police” is visible on the barricades in the video. A reverse-image search led the fact-checkers to a longer version posted on Facebook on August 8, 2026—before the Mumbai protest.
According to Fact Crescendo, the earlier video's caption described a CJP protest in Delhi concerning the resignation of then-Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The fact-check concluded that the older Delhi footage had been recirculated with a misleading Mumbai location and date.
Why the distinction matters
The video itself is genuine footage, according to the cited report; the misleading part is its accompanying context. Real footage can mislead when it is presented as showing another place, date or event.
Final verdict
MISLEADING. The footage does not show the October 2 CJP protest at Shivaji Park, Mumbai. Fact Crescendo traced it to an earlier CJP protest in Delhi. This article summarizes that source's findings; Truth Sab Tak has not independently authenticated the original post or every frame.
