A video of vehicles carrying a large number of animals is being shared rapidly on social media. It is being claimed with the video that it is from Gujarat, where thousands of cows are being supplied to Arab countries by Adani Group. While sharing the video, users are targeting the BJP government.
“The caption of the viral post states, Thousands of cows are standing in trucks at Adani’s port. To go to Arab countries”. Which will be cut there…Where are the dead devotees?? Let me remind the donkeys that BJP has taken donations only from those doing beef business. Everything is a game of money”.

Upon further search, we found the same viral video posted on the Facebook ( archive ) account of a user named Hamed ELhagary, a meat wholesaler based in Damietta, Egypt. ELhagary shared the video on 19 April, 2024 from Ras El-Barr, Dumyat, Egypt. A deeper look at his profile revealed a series of similar videos. ELhagary captioned the video in Arabic, which translates to: “The one who sleeps on the goods and waits for them to be removed. The first 25,000 headlines.”

Apart from this, when we closely observed the trucks seen in the viral video, we saw a logo in one of the trucks.
Using this logo, we tried to know which company this truck belongs to.
