False Video Circulated To Discredit and Defame #ShaheenBagh Protestors

A video widely circulating in WhatsApp in India was sent by me to Webqoof for verification. Here's their response


 Hello

After ascertaining the location, The Quint's WebQoof team visited Old Mustafabad area and found out that the video was shot there. We also spoke to a local businessman, who could also be seen in the video, and he told us that he distributed the money to some women, who had come from Shiv Nagar after their houses were burnt or attacked following the violence in Delhi. According to him, they ran out of relief material supplies but some women were left, so he gave them money.

Delhi Violence Relief Video Used to Malign Shaheen Bagh Protests
The Quint found out that the video is neither from Shaheen Bagh, nor were the women being paid to protest.
