  • A video of several people raising the Indian national flag and a green flag is going viral on the internet as a recent incident, amidst the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. What are users claiming?: While some users said that the visuals were recorded during a Congress' rally, others claimed that Pakistani flags were raised in Karnataka's Tumkur. How did we find that out?: Using the help of Google Lens, we performed a reverse image search and found the same video shared by an X (formerly known as Twitter) user named 'Sushil Kedia'. It was shared on 11 May 2018. Its caption, too, mentioned that the video was from Tumkur and showed visuals from a Congress rally. What were the flags that were raised?: A closer look at the viral video clearly showed that the green flag looked different from the national flag of Pakistan. Comparing visuals: Team WebQoof compared the flag seen in the viral video to the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) flag, which highlighted several similarities. However, on comparing visuals, it clearly showed that Pakistan's flags were not raised. What did the police say?: Superintendent of Police (SP) of Tumkur, in a post, clarified that the video was falsely claiming that a Pakistani flag was hoisted. The post further said that legal action has been initiated against those sharing this misinformation online. Conclusion: While we could not independently verify the location or context of the video, it is clear that it is not recent and unrelated to the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
