False Protest Videos Circulate at Delhi's Jantar Mantar
Some people on Instagram posted old videos and said they were new protests at a big place in Delhi called Jantar Mantar.
They even used Japanese captions that didn't match the videos.
The news people checked the videos and found they were from a long time ago, not from now.
No real protests were happening there.
So the posts were lying about protests.
Instagram users shared old videos claiming to show recent protests at Jantar Mantar after CJP ended protests.
The account 'jantarmantar_live60' posted multiple videos with unrelated Japanese captions.
No credible reports confirm ongoing protests at Jantar Mantar or outside Connaught Place in August.
The videos were verified as old footage, not recent.
The claim that protests were ongoing is false.
