Similarly, Twitter user @Meenu_71 posted the same video along with the same text. It was retweeted over 5,000 times. Several users have posted this video with the same claim on Twitter and on Facebook.
Alt News used InVID to break the viral video into keyframes and perform a reverse image search on Yandex. The search results threw up the same video on YouTube with the title ‘الدخول بجواز مزور ونظر كيف تخبئت الجواز الاصلي (Enter using false passport and see how the original passport was hidden)’ from December 31, 2015.
Alt News subsequently did a keyword search on Google and found a report by Arab Times from December 19, 2015.
According to the report, several Bangladeshis were arrested by the immigration officers for attempting to enter Kuwait on forged Indian passports and hiding their Bangladesh passport inside shoes. The report cites Al- Shahed daily as the source.
A time-search on Facebook also led us to a video posted by a Kwt Today.
