Why we say that›
Indore fake-plaster parade is real. The reel turns one case into routine police acting with fake chains.
One Indore incident with fake plasters on assault suspects is confirmed by multiple reports. The reel mislabels it as fake chains and generalises it to almost every criminal case with limping actors for camera. This distorts the picture from one local misuse into a widespread police PR tactic. Supreme Court rulings ban routine handcuffing and public parading.
The July 2026 Indore case with fake plasters is real. No sources show it uses fake chains or happens after almost every incident nationwide with actors limping on camera.
The Indore incident used fake plasters on hands and legs, not chains or handcuffs, and was limited to one assault case in July 2026.

Handcuffs should not be used as a routine measure... only when the person is desperate, rowdy, violent... should generally not be handcuffed. Moreover, if handcuffed, they should not be paraded through the streets. - livelaw.in (2025-01-15) the routine practice of parading suspects for 'spot verification is used as a pretext for public shaming... marched down roads with visible and severe injuries; limping on fractured legs. - SabrangIndia (2026-02-03) videos surfaced on social media showing two assault accused wearing plaster casts on their hands and legs during a public parade... later seen removing the casts. - Deccan Herald (2026-07-30)
