A 2-minute video of a mob attacking a white car with sticks is viral on social media. Some in the mob can be seen holding BJP flags. At 1:17<\/a>, the mob beats up a man in a red shirt who was earlier seen driving the car.<\/p>\n

First, we broke down the video into key-frames and reverse-searched one of them on Google. We came across a news report by Kalinga TV, uploaded on YouTube on March 12, 2022, titled, “‘Lakhimpur Kheri’ In Odisha: Over 20 Injured As Chilika MLA Prashant Jagdev’s Runs Car Over Crowd’. At the 0:38 mark<\/a>, we can see the man driving the car. He is identified as MLA Prashant Jadgev.<\/span><\/p>\n

The white car in the viral video is an SUV with the word ‘Discovery’ written on its back. The same can be seen in the Kalinga TV clip. The number plate held by a man in the crowd reads OD-02AY-5775 in the viral video. This, too, can be seen in the video uploaded by Kalinga TV in 2022.<\/p>\n
