A small fire accident in Minister S. P. Velumani’s Godown. A small loss only. But huge amount was found safe.<\/p>\n

The same video is viral<\/a> in Tamil with a message that reads – “\u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba3\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc0 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1! \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd!! \u0b87\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbe \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd…..\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd…… Yesterday morning Tamil Nadu minister Velumani’s godown had a fire accident but the damage was small. Due to tghese people TN has got ruined so much and you are also a reason behind this. Please vote carefully.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is the truth?<\/h2>\n

If one carefully watches the video, it is quite clear that the currency notes are not the Indian Rupee. Due to the poor quality of the footage, the currency symbol or the country’s name is not visible, however, the colour of the notes and their corresponding value can be identified. For instance, the notes valued at 20 were blue, the orange ones were marked 50 and the green ones were valued at 100.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we searched for currency notes according to the above-stated colour code, we found that they are Euro bills.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is unlikely for a regional minister to hoard money in Euros. Moreover, if that were the case, the incident would have been reported in the media. These reasons were the first hints suggesting that social media claims were false.<\/p>\n

Upon further inspection, we found that the same video was also viral with the narrative that the piles of cash were recovered from Pakistani politician Agha Siraj Durrani’s house.<\/p>\n

AFP <\/em>debunked<\/a> these claims in a March 19 report. The media organisation found that the clip represented a 2018 art installation in Spain. The notes were hand-painted by Spanish artist, Alejandro Monge, who uploaded the same video on his Instagram account, calling out the false claims ascribed to his artwork.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BuY7pTUlPPr\/<\/a><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0AFP,\u00a0<\/em>the caption of his post, written in Spanish, says,\u00a0“It’s one of the things about the internet that something can go viral without knowing why it does\u2026 and then nobody knows what it is or who it is from. If people knew what sculpture is and knew the tickets are painted by hand\u2026 @monge-art share!!”<\/em><\/p>\n

AFP\u00a0<\/em>also had an email conversation with Monge, where the artist said, “<\/em>The video was taken by a visitor to the ArtMadrid art fair in 2018 and a Dutch website published it without mentioning anything, so the decontextualised video was perfect for fake news websites around the world, we know it has been used in Haiti, Russia, Cameroon, Spain and Pakistan with different news stories linking it to local politicians. The sculpture was published on my Instagram page a year ago, including documenting the whole production process. The sculpture is made of resin and wood and the bills are coloured by hand with colouring pencils.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Unrelated videos, accusing politicians of stacking illegal money, have been found floating on social media in the past as well. A BJP worker from Karnataka was the target of similar misinformation<\/a> in 2018. Videos of fake currency notes<\/a> have also been shared on social media as with false narratives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
