In the beginning of the investigation, we closely analysed the video and noticed a logo of a hindi news television channel “News Nation” at the left corner of the screen.  At 60 seconds in the video, a viewer can be heard saying “ what happened in Delhi?” This made us think that may be this 

video is from Delhi. Thereafter, we did a google search using the keywords “army police clash Delhi news nation”. As a result, we found a video aired by News Nation TV channel on 26th February 2017. In the title of this video it is mentioned “there was a clash between army personnel and police in Delhi’s cantonment area”. 

Regarding this incident, a news report was aired by Times of India on 27th February 2017. According to this news, there was a clash in the cantonment area of Delhi between the army personnel and the police for two hours, when an officer of police allegedly insulted an army soldier.

Conclusion: After checking the facts, we found the above post to be incorrect. This is an old video of a clash in the cantonment area of Delhi between the army personnel and the Delhi police. It is in no way related to the NRC list of Assam.
