FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be misleading.
We extracted keyframes from the video and put them through Reverse Image Search. We found that the same video was shared by multiple YouTube channels in 2018.
“मध्यप्रदेश में किसान आन्दोलन ! रेंगते किसान!, ” the video was titled. (Translation: Farmers’ movement in Madhya Pradesh! Creeping Farmer!)
The video was also geotagged to Morena, Madhya Pradesh.
The same video was also uploaded by another user in June 2018 with the title, “किसान आंदोलन की शुरुआत ।। 1जून से 10जून ।। किसानों की हालत देखकर आप क्या कहेंगे??”
(Translation: The beginning of the farmers’ movement. 1 June to 10 June. What will you say after seeing the condition of the farmers ??)
From the above information, it is clear that the video in circulation is OLD. However, NewsMobile independently couldn’t verify the location and origin of the video.
