In the video, people can be heard saying, “Modi is dead, cry, cry loudly, cry together….Khattar is dead -translated”.<\/em> The cries for ‘Khattar’ refers to the chief minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar.<\/p>\n

Twitter user, Gaurav Pradhan<\/a>, who routinely shares misinformation<\/a>, tweeted the same video with an identical claim. Pradhan is followed by Prime Minister Modi on Twitter<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0The same video tweeted by an individual user, Ramesh Agarwala<\/a> has received close to 2300 retweets so far.<\/p>\n

Several individuals on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> have shared this video with an identical narrative.<\/p>\n

We did a Google search with the keywords, “\u092e\u094b\u0926\u0940 \u0905\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0940 (Modi’s funeral -translated)” <\/em>and found a YouTube video<\/a>\u00a0but with different audio.<\/p>\n

In this video, protestors can be heard speaking Tamil which points to the possibility of the viral Hindi version being a doctored video. According to a website<\/a>, the images belong to a protest held against the ban on Jallikattu in 2017. In the collage below, the image on the left is a screen-grab from the YouTube video while the on the right is from the viral video circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

A blog published on January 21, 2017 carried an image<\/a> of the protest in Tamil Nadu.\u00a0We found a video by Nakkheeran TV<\/em><\/a> of the anti-Modi processions that were taken out by the protesters in a similar fashion to revoke the ban on Jallikattu.<\/p>\n
