Many other individual users quote-tweeted<\/a> the video believing it to be from India.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Video from Malaysia<\/h3>\n

Alt News discovered that the video is from Malaysia and not from India. The two billboards seen in the video have phone numbers, which we traced to a Malaysian business website, Emhub.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We found that the video has been circulating on the internet at least since December 2018. An individual Twitter user, who goes by the name Abdillah Toha, had posted<\/a> the video on December 12, 2018. This was one of the earliest instances that Alt News could locate.<\/p>\n

An article published<\/a> in Malay, days after the video went viral on social media, claimed that the clip was shot on “Sprint Highway”<\/em> located in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Moreover, a passerby in the video can be heard speaking in Malay. The passer-by can be heard saying, “Brother, what are you doing? why are you praying here? you might end up dying there. (translated)”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Alt News looked up the street view<\/a> from SCland Gallery<\/a> (the business that was advertised in the billboard) to Sprint Highway on Google Maps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the way to Sprint Highway, we found the exact spot where the footage was shot.<\/p>\n
