Fact check

After doing the reverse image search, we found an article of Aljazeera in which they have inserted the image of the viral protest. As per the article, Tejasvi Surya organized a cycle rally where he along with other BJP MP’s rallied from Bangalore city to Kolar city in Karnataka under the name of Fit India Movement on 27^th March.

Cyclists from Kolar led by their energetic MP Shri @bjp_muniswamy joined the #Cycle2Freedom ride at Narsapura in large numbers.

Further, when they came near the Mosque, bikers started dancing, shouting or behaving in an undisciplined manner. While this incident took place in Kolar city of Karnataka and comes under the case where Muslims were aggressive after hearing about the Muslim women selling App.

Mohammed Irshad also posted the viral clip of saffron flag holders protesting in front of the mosque on 29^th March.

Tejasvi Surya had organised a cycle rally from Bangalore to Kolar on March 21. When the rally reached the Hussaini Makan Masjid of Kolar the people who participated in the rally stopped and started doing this nuisance.

Hence proves that the video is old and does not have a connection with the Karauli incident as violence in Karauli happened near the 4^th of April and the viral video got on air on the 29^th of March.
