Fact Check: Is this a video of Nupur Sharma being arrested

New Delhi, Jun 22: A video of a small group of women and cops is in circulation with the claim that BJP's suspended spokesperson is getting arrested after she was absconding.

The video shows the woman being held by other woman as she tries to move ahead towards a barricade. There are several policemen also seen in the video. OneIndia has learnt that this claim is misleading.
