CHENNAI: A viral video shows several lawyers carrying out a symbolic funeral procession of the UP government.

Netizens shared the video claiming that the incident took place in Prayagraj recently, on account of police officers lathi-charging several lawyers in Hapur district.

It was alleged that it was the first time that a funeral procession of a Chief Minister was taken out as a symbol of protest. AltNews found that the video is from 2019 and is unrelated to the incident in Hapur.
