Upon reverse-image searching one of the key-frames of the video, we were led to a 2018 upload of the video on YouTube<\/a>. The video is titled, “#train \u092f\u0947 \u0928\u091c\u093c\u093e\u0930\u093e \u0915\u0947\u0935\u0932 \u092a\u091f\u0928\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0939\u0940 \u0926\u0947\u0916\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u092e\u093f\u0932\u0947\u0917\u093e”.

The second video had already been debunked by Alt News<\/a>\u00a0in February 2021 when it had gone viral with the claim that this was a scene from Mumbai\u2019s Borivali railway station after the Mumbai local train services were reopened to the general public from February 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

Alt News performed a reverse image search of a still from the video, which led us to a YouTube<\/a> video dated March 21, 2016. The title of the video indicated that the crowd was from Mumbai.
\n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m5CSDX12rSs]<\/p>\n

Therefore, a clip of a massive crowd boarding a Mumbai local train from at least six years ago was shared as visuals from the recent chaos preceding the UP PET.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the official handle of Info Uttar Pradesh Fact Check has shared a fact-check<\/a> of both of the videos and called them misleading. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
