Viral Video Mislinks Naseeruddin Shah to Delhi Protest
A video of Naseeruddin Shah and his sons went viral on social media, with some people saying it showed him at a protest in Delhi.
But this is not true.
The video was actually taken outside a cinema in Mumbai.
The protest in Delhi is by a group called CJP, who want changes in how a big exam called NEET is run.
They say there have been problems with the exam, and they want the government to fix them.
The police were there to keep order, but there were some clashes.
It's still not clear if Naseeruddin Shah was really at the protest in Delhi or not.
Viral video of Naseeruddin Shah was filmed outside Regal Cinema in Mumbai, not at Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest.
CJP is protesting NEET examination irregularities and demanding reforms.
Delhi Police deployed security forces to prevent the protest from reaching Parliament.
Protesters alleged police used tear gas and baton charges during clashes.
No verified visuals confirm Naseeruddin Shah's presence at the Delhi protest.
