The caption of the post in Hindi reads, ‘this is how they will cross 400 seats. If elections are conducted impartially then they will not even cross 4 seats’. However, upon investigation of the video, we discovered that it had been edited. Here’s the truth behind the viral video.

Fact Check

Upon close observation of the video, we noticed the watermark of an Instagram handle. The name ‘kalu Pradhan kota’ is visible on the video. Further examination of various other posts on X and YouTube that shared the viral video revealed the same watermark on all of them. Consequently, we searched for the Instagram handle on Instagram and successfully located it. Upon scrolling through the handle’s feed, we found the viral video.
