The clip is widespread on Facebook and Twitter with the same message. It has also made its way to WhatsApp and YouTube.
Alt News had already verified this video earlier in November when it was being circulated as scenes from a rally held in protest of the wave of violence in Tripura.
On January 3, 2020, Mannarkkad Live uploaded a video report featuring scenes from the viral clip. According to the report, the visuals showed protestors in Mannarkkad participating in an anti-CAA demonstration.
