Video as old as 2017, shared with false narrative earlier<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Searching on Google with the keywords, \u201c\u092e\u094b\u0926\u0940 \u0905\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0940 (Modi\u2019s funeral -translated)\u201d <\/em>we had\u00a0found a YouTube video<\/a>, but with different audio. In this video, protesters could be heard speaking in Tamil, which pointed 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.\u00a0We found a video by\u00a0Nakkheeran 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. An article published by\u00a0The News Minute<\/em><\/a> on January 20, 2017 had also reported on the protest directed at the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
