Similarly, several Facebook<\/a> users shared the clip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old video shared with Bihar election spin<\/h4>\n

Alt News watched the video on a loop and noticed that the person has their hand placed over both the BJP and BSP symbols thus it cannot be said with certainty that the EVM was faulty.<\/p>\n

Next, we analysed the video using InVID. After rummaging various search results, we found that a\u00a0Facebook user<\/a> had shared the clip with Punbaji text in May 2019 during Lok Sabha elections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The screenshots below are stills from the Facebook video uploaded in 2019. That the person has placed their fingers on both BJP and BSP symbols is evident. Moreover, the light corresponding to BJP’s symbol lights up hinting that she may have in reality pressed the button.<\/p>\n
