The video is also circulated on WhatsApp with a similar narrative in Kannada, “\u0caa\u0cbe\u0c95\u0cbf\u0cb8\u0ccd\u0ca4\u0cbe\u0ca8\u0ca6\u0cb2\u0ccd\u0cb2\u0cbf \u0caa\u0cbe\u0c95 \u0caa\u0ccd\u0cb0\u0ca7\u0cbe\u0ca8\u0cbf\u0caf\u0ca8\u0ccd\u0ca8\u0cc1 \u0cb9\u0cca\u0ca1\u0cc6\u0ca6\u0cbf\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6\u0cbe\u0cb0\u0cc6 \u0ca4\u0caa\u0ccd\u0caa\u0ca6\u0cc6 \u0ca8\u0ccb\u0ca1\u0cbf”.<\/i><\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

Alt News found that the video of Imran Khan being bundled into a vehicle by a group of supporters in now more than five years old. “Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan today was grievously injured on his head when he fell off a forklift that was hoisting him on to a stage for an election campaign meeting here in Pakistan. Imran, 60, and several of his bodyguards apparently lost their balance and fell several feet to the ground.”, <\/i>stated a report published by The Indian Express<\/a><\/i> on May 7, 2013. Thus, the visuals now shared on social media are old and unrelated to a gun attack as claimed. Last year, it was fact-checked by ABP News<\/i>.<\/p>\n
