  • What we found: We ran a keyword search using the words in the caption of the viral posts and found a post on X by user Brajbhushan Dubey from 7 February. As per the user's X bio, it read, "Independent Journalist, 1.9 M Bubscriber On YouTube channel - Brajbhushan Markandey Social worker and Ex-member of Zila Panchayat Ghazipur." The post included a link to a YouTube video, which matched the thumbnail of the viral posts. The post's caption noted, "This video of ours during Covid was about dead bodies floating in the Ganga in Ghazipur; which was made viral by some mischievous elements by linking it to the stampede in Kumbh Mela. Take immediate cognisance." (sic.) We checked the date of upload of YouTube video which was 17 May 2021. It was uploaded with the title, "When CM Yogi was called; People with weak hearts should not watch! Dogs were tearing them apart! They were not worth counting!" (sic.) (translated from Hindi to English.) The date and the clarification by the YouTuber made it clear that the video was not related to the recent Kumbh stampede. Upon going through the YouTube page, we also found a video from 8 February in which the journalist remarks that his old video was being shared as recent and that he had lodged a complaint with the concerned authorities. We did not find any credible information to prove that deceased bodies were found on the banks of Ganga in Ghazipur. Conclusion: The viral video is old and unrelated and rather, it shows a report by journalist Brajbhushan Markandey from 2021 concerning bodies discarded along the banks of the Ganga in Ghazipur during COVID-19 pandemic.
