  • A video showing a house getting washed away due to the heavy flow of flood water is being shared on social media with a claim that this incident recently happened in Sylhet district of Bangladesh. The clip has gone viral amid the ongoing flood in Bangladesh which has left over 20 lakh people stranded. However, we found out that the video dates back to 2021 when Indonesia was hit by flash floods, and heavy rainfall and flooding had washed away houses in Lombok Island. CLAIM The video was shared with a caption that said in Bengali, "The flood-hit people of Sylhet are not doing good today! May Allah Almighty protect everyone. Today we all pray for them during the Jumma prayers." Nandan Pratim Sharma Bordoloi, a journalist from News Live TV, also tweeted the video with a claim suggesting that the video is from the recent Assam floods. WHAT WE FOUND OUT Using InVID, a video verification tool, we divided the video into multiple keyframes and a ran reverse image search on them. This led us to a news report by a global news publication, Insider, published on 8 December 2021. The report mentioned about Indonesia experiencing heavy rainfall and floods on 6 December 2021, which washed away homes. Insider credited the footage to news agency Reuters. On comparing the original video with the viral clip, we could spot the similarities. Indonesia received heavy rainfall for three days since the erruption of Semeru volcano which killed several people on Java island on 5 December 2021. The extreme rainfall led to floods and landslides. Evidently, an old video from Indonesia's flood was falsely shared as a recent visual from Bangladesh and Assam floods.
