We took the screengrab of the video using InVID took and then ran the picture through Reverse Image search. Our search led us to the same video uploaded on YouTube on August 28, 2016.
We also checked the official social media accounts of Saryu Rai where we found his tweet clarifying that the man in the video is not him.
“After my victory in Jamshedpur East assembly constituency, a video of a man resembling myself, dancing to the tune of a popular song (is being shared). Do not consider it to be my dance performance. The credit should be given to that distinguished artist. My best wishes to that artist, “he tweeted in Hindi.
जमशेदपुर पूर्वी विधानसभा क्षेत्र में मेरी जीत के उपरांत एक वीडियो में मेरी कद-काठी से मिलता जुलता एक व्यक्ति एक लोकप्रिय गीत कि धुन पर जमकर डांस कर रहा है। इसे मेरा नृत्य समझने की भूल ना करे। इसका श्रेय उस आनाम कलाकार को ही मिले। उस कलाकार को मेरी असीम शुभकामनाएं।
