FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the video and found the claim to be false.
When we extracted the keyframes of the video and put them through Reverse Image Search, we found a similar video of YouTube, dated February 5, 2019.
In another video of the dance, from the same location, the same police personal are also visible.
We found one more video, shot in the same location, that was posted on Facebook in April 2019.
In one of the shots, DP (Delhi Police) can be seen written on the uniform.
Hence, from the above information, we can conclude that the video is not of UP Police and it is also established that the video is at least one year old.
