In the video, Chavhanke can be seen stating that Owaisi danced after the news of Kamlesh Tiwari's death.

The video is also available on Sudarshan Channel's Youtube page.

Fact Check:

Upon cross-checking, Newsmeter found the original clip of Owaisi dancing from the news agency, ANI's, twitter feed, published on October 18, 2019, titled "Maharashtra: AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi performs a dance step after the end of his rally at Paithan Gate in Aurangabad. (17.10.2019)"

Owaisi performed this dance on the 17th of October, a day before the murder of Kamlesh Tiwari during an election campaign in Maharashtra. According to news reports, Tiwari was found murdered inside his house in Lucknow on October 18, 2019.

Obviously, the claim of 'celebration dance after the murder of Kamlesh Tiwari' is FALSE.

Owaisi also told the media that it was not a dance that he performed. As the party symbol was a kite, he was performing the action of flying a kite.

Here on this Facebook page of the patry, we can see the party logo.

We also found news reports in the news media stating that Owaisi had refuted the news of dance. He clarified that at every gathering, they enact the action of kite flying.
