Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by running a keyword search on Google that led us to the YouTube channel of Zee Rajasthan that posted the same video on 4 March 2022. According to the description of the video, it is from Udaipur showing Chirwa tunnel. You can read Zee News India’s report on the incident here.

The caption of the video states “Udaipur | The rioting of youths inside Chirwa Tunnel, police engaged in investigation | Viral video”

News18 Virals posted the video on 5 March 2022 and stated that more than half a dozen youths created ruckus inside the Chirwa Tunnel on Nathdwara Highway in Udaipur. During this uproar, the youths fired their pistols in the air. This incident is claimed to have taken place on the day of Mahashivratri.

We found that Udaipur Police had posted a clarification on the viral video mentioning that the violent riot shown in the video did take place inside the Chirwa tunnel on the Nathdwara Highway. After investigation, they have found that the sound of hitting the bikes with sticks was misinterpreted as gun firing. The police has not been notified of any incident related to firing in the area.
