  • A video showing a huge fire near a flyover, with a fire engine trying to douse it, has been shared as a cylinder blast that took place in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki. However, we found that the video was from Assam's Guwahati. According to news reports, a fire broke out in a shop, under the Bhangagarh flyover, where two LPG cylinders burst. CLAIM The video was shared as a reel on Facebook with a caption, "Gas blast case Barabanki.” The video was liked by over 2,000 people on Facebook. WHAT WE FOUND OUT Using the InVID WeVerify Google Chrome extension, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and conducted a reverse image search on some of the keyframes. While going through the search results, we came across a tweet that carried the same video, published on 21 August. The caption of the video said, "Cylinder Blast Triggers Massive Fire In Guwahati.” A report by East Mojo, published on 20 August, stated, “Fire broke out in a shop under the Bhangagarh flyover (Guwahati) on Saturday morning after a biryani outlet situated on the ground floor of a complex caught fire due to the bursting of two LPG cylinders.” The publication also put out a video of the incident on their YouTube channel. We compared the viral video with the video report published by East Mojo and noticed several similarities. We also conducted a keyword search for gas cylinder blast in Barabanki, UP, but were unable to find any such report or video. Evidently, an old video from Guwahati, showing a fire caused by a cylinder blast has gone viral as an incident from Barabanki.
