Fact Check:

While investigating the viral claim, DFRAC team found a post on Facebook by Rudraprayag Police, Uttarakhand. In which it was said that a case has been filed against the horse and mule owners who beat up the devotees on the Kedarnath Dham footpath. The police have also released the names of the accused who assaulted. There names are:

1. Ankit Singh s/o late Mr. Prakash Singh, resident of village Aso, Jayakandi, police station Agastyamuni, district Rudraprayag.

2. Santosh Kumar S/o Shri Raghuveer Lal, Resident of Village Aso, Jayakandi, PS Agastyamuni, District Rudraprayag.

4. Gautam’s son Anand Lal, resident of village Jakhan Bhardar, police station and district Rudraprayag.

Apart from these, a minor child is also involved in this, and a necessary action has been taken against him seprately.
