  • A video showing a bulldozer destroying a cart of a street vendor is being shared as one from Andhra Pradesh. What did users say?: Those sharing wrote that the current Chandrababu Naidu-led government in Andhra Pradesh was hitting livelihood with a bulldozer. How did we find out?: We divided the video into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them. We found two posts on X by users Hate Detector and which included the same video as the viral clip. Both posts were recently posted. According to the two posts, the video was from Chennai, Tamil Nadu and not Andhra Pradesh, as claimed. With a relevant keyword search, we came across an article from India Today from 30 June. It's feature image also included an image which was similar to a frame in the viral video. India Today reported that many street vendors were in trouble as a result of the traffic department's crackdown on them in an effort to remove roadside carts in Chennai To lessen traffic in Tambaram area of Chennai, the officials crushed and removed the carts using an excavator. Images of the excavator smashing carts went viral on social media. The footage showed a bulldozer's claw arm falling on a pushcart, breaking its top, and then pushing it away. To verify further, we geolocated the location by searching for more clips of this incident. A Zee News Tamil report showed a wider frame of the incident, which showed Bank of Baroda and 'Ayothidass' in the background. We searched for the two on Google Maps and it directly took us to the spot where this incident occured. Conclusion: The viral video is being falsely shared as one from Andhra Pradesh.
