Indore police paraded assault suspects in fake plasters in July 2026. The reel calls this fake chains, claims it happens after almost every incident with limping actors, but one case does not prove a routine nationwide drama.
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.

Claims
1 false · 1 exaggerated · 2 unchecked
- False
Police parade criminals in chains after every criminal incident
What's actually true
Reports show occasional illegal public parading in some states like Rajasthan, but not after almost every incident or as a routine nationwide practice. Supreme Court rulings ban routine handcuffing and parading.
- True, but exaggerated
The chained person is almost always seen limping in every instance
What's actually true
We couldn't verify this claim with a reliable source. Limping appears in the specific Indore fake-plaster case and some Rajasthan reports, but searches found no evidence it happens in almost every instance nationwide.
- Couldn't check
Indore police handcuffed criminals with fake chains
What's actually true
We couldn't verify this claim with a reliable source. Indore police paraded assault suspects with fake plasters on hands and legs in July 2026. They were later seen removing them. The reel calls this fake chains and handcuffs, which the reports do not support.
- Couldn't check
Criminals are acting in front of the camera
What's actually true
We couldn't verify this claim with a reliable source. Searches for police parading, fake restraints and acting found only the one Indore case with fake plasters. No reports confirm criminals routinely acting for the camera.
The full story, from the sources›
The indiscriminate resort to handcuffs when accused persons are taken to and from court and the expedient of forcing irons on prison inmates are illegal and shall be stopped forthwith... Reckless handcuffing and chaining in public degrades, puts to shame finer sensibilities and is a slur on our culture. - CJP (2021-06-12) 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) The Supreme Court declared that handcuffs or other fetters should not ordinarily be imposed on prisoners or undertrials... handcuffs should be the last refuge, not the routine regimen. - Moneycontrol (2026-06-09) 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)
From reporting
