  • A video, which shows fireworks lighting up the sky, is going viral on social media platforms with a claim that it it is recent and shows people defying the cracker ban in Delhi. Social media users shared the clip to take a dig at Delhi government's ban on crackers, which was supported by the Supreme Court. However, the video can be traced back to at least January 2022. As per reports, it shows New Year's celebration in Naples, Italy. WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEO? Using InVID, video verification tool, we divided the video into several keyframes and performed a reverse image search on them. This led us to a news report published on 2 January by Blaze Media, an American media organisation. It carried a picture which was similar to one of the frames of the viral video. It mentioned that the video is from the New Year's celebration in Naples, Italy, where the residents rebelled against Mayor Gaetano Manfredi's order of banning the use of firecrackers before New year's Eve. Taking a cue from here, we conducted a keyword search and found a report by Il Matino, an Italian daily, published on 1 January. The report mentioned that around nine people were injured due to the explosion of barells and fireworks. Further, we came across a YouTube video uploaded on the official channel of Turning Point USA. The video was uploaded on 4 January and was titled, "WATCH: NAPLES, ITALY COMPLETELY DEFIES MAYOR’S FIREWORK BAN DUE TO COVID." We found that this clip was the same as the viral one. While we could not independently verify the location of the incident, the video can be traced back to at least January, which predates the Diwali celebrations in India. Evidently, an old video is going viral on the internet as a recent clip showing people bursting crackers in Delhi during Diwali.
