The video shows a new patrol bike initiative launched in Tamil Nadu by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, after assuming office.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The video shows a 24-hour two-wheeler patrol initiative launched by Salem District Police in January 2026, before the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections—not a new initiative launched by Vijay after assuming office. The review identifies Goutham Goyal, Salem District Superintendent of Police, as the official who flagged it off. [S1]

FACTLYReligion & belief

The video shows a few people playing musical instruments inside a Kolkata mosque to harass devotees after the BJP’s victory in West Bengal.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY found that the video was unrelated to post-poll violence in West Bengal and had been online before the 2026 Assembly elections. It traced the footage to a video uploaded on 20 June 2025 by Gashchi Shahi Darbar Sharif and reported that a Bangladeshi fact-checker later identified the location as a shrine in Chittagong.

France has entered a nationwide lockdown because of a hantavirus outbreak

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says France did not impose a nationwide lockdown, curfew, or stay-at-home order over the hantavirus outbreak.

The review found that the first video showed T20 World Cup celebrations in Prayagraj in March 2026, before the West Bengal Assembly elections. It also identified the flags in the Kerala video as IUML party flags, not Pakistani flags.

The review found that the video was online by 26 December 2025, before the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, and was unrelated to the BJP government’s formation. It says the video’s post described the visuals as from an Ijtema gathering in Dhubri, Assam, while noting that it could not independently verify the exact location or full context.
