Footage of a heated courtroom exchange has been viewed thousands of times in social media posts that claim it shows a judge stripping the licence of a Muslim lawyer who fought against a hijab ban in Karnataka, India. However, the state's bar council told AFP no lawyer had been stripped of their licence over the hijab case. The video in the posts shows a judge reprimanding a lawyer for an unrelated court case.
