The video shows a priest in Andhra Pradesh who claimed to possess divine powers and could fly, but died after jumping from a mountain.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The video shows priest Appa Papayya’s accidental fall at Gampa Mallaiah Swamy Hill in Anantapur district in August 2021, not a death after claiming he could fly. The review says he slipped while performing a customary ritual; media reports, a police statement and the FIR describe an accident and do not mention claims of divine powers or flight.

Fact Crescendo Sri LankaDisasters & emergencies

Viral videos show the destruction caused by the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka reports that several widely shared videos attributed to the Venezuela earthquakes were filmed years earlier in other countries or were likely synthetic. It identifies one building-collapse video as footage from the 2023 Türkiye earthquake and another as a planned demolition there after the earthquakes.

FACTLYCrime & justice

Video shows 5000 lawyers protesting outside the Madhya Pradesh High Court after the life imprisonment of 14 cow vigilantes in the Narmadapuram mob attack case.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The video does not show a protest outside the Madhya Pradesh High Court over the Narmadapuram verdict; it shows scenes from the Lucknow Bar Council elections. The review says the footage was online before the verdict and reports no evidence of a large-scale lawyers’ protest in support of the convicted men.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was killed in a Russian airstrike.

Publisher’s rating: False
