Some of these posts<\/a> claim that the video was shot in Mumbai (there have been reports of waterlogging in parts of Mumbai<\/a> due to pre-monsoon rains). Most others have posted a cautionary warning and requested people to share the video on every group.<\/div>\n

\"\"The video is viral on both Facebook<\/a> and Twitte<\/a>r. Alt News has also received multiple requests to verify the clip on the Alt News official mobile app (Android<\/a>, iOS<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\nDigitally altered video<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are a few aspects one can observe in the video:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The face of the man holding the umbrella has been obfuscated.<\/li>\n
  2. The man leaves the umbrella even before he hits the puddle.<\/li>\n
  3. The man does not react to falling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Below is a GIF of the video from the website Tenor<\/a> for the readers to watch the video on loop and analyse for themselves.<\/p>\n

    We have broken down the video into keyframes that highlight:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The distance between his arms and T-shirt never change (yellow box).<\/li>\n
    2. He didn’t even lift his left leg (pointed in red) before it vanishes into the puddle. It is almost as if he walked into the puddle.<\/li>\n
    3. The shadow between his thighs (pointed in blue) also remains the same throughout. This shows that his legs did not react to the fall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
