What is the Truth?

When searched for the eviction of houses of those who chanted Pakistan Zindabad slogans in Ujjain, we found a Zee Hindi news article dated 27th August mentioning that more than 200 illegally built shops were evicted in Ujjain.

The news article reported, “The famous Mahakal temple is being expanded ten times under Ujjain smart city scheme. The High Court has ordered to evict all the illegally built houses and shops that come under the area of the Mahakal expansion project. It is informed in the order that the encroachers should be informed earlier with a time of 45 days to vacate their spaces”.

However, the viral claim is not in any of the news. When we searched for the hotel President that took place in the video, we located it at Indore road, New Haribhadak over the bridge in Ujjain.

The place that was blamed for raising Pakistan Zindabad slogans in the Muharram function is the Geetha colony in Ujjain which is 2.5 km away from the area where the encroachments are removed.

It is to be noted that the old video was edited and circulated on social media claiming that Hindus gathered in front of a mosque against those who raised Pakistan Zindabad slogans during Muharram in Ujjain.

Conclusion

The video claiming that Sivaraj Saukhan demolished the illegally built houses of those who raised Pakistan Zindabad slogans in Ujjain is fake.

The video of the government officials removing more than 200 encroachments as per the Court order under the plan of Ujjain smart city is being circulated with misinformation.
