Fact Check
In our investigation, we conducted a keyword search related to this video but could not find any media reports online.
Next, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and performed a reverse image search. During this process, we found the same video on a Facebook page named Arun Pannalal, where it was shared on December 27, 2024. Upon checking the comments, we discovered that the slogans in the video were in Telugu. This gave us a hint that the video was neither from Chhattisgarh.
Additionally, the individuals seen in the video are wearing Bajrang Dal jerseys, with an image of Lord Hanuman printed on the back and a text written in Telugu “Bajrang dal.” This indicates that the people chanting slogans in the video are Telugu members of Bajrang Dal.
Further, our team contacted a Telugu bilingual expert, who confirmed that the claims associated with the viral video were false. The expert explained that the video does not contain any vow to kill Christians. Instead, the people in the video are saying, “In the name of Lord Eshwar and our followers, we all pray for the welfare of the holy Hindu Dharma and heritage. For the great Hindutva community and Hindu Dharma Seva, I will be selfless and will offer my body, heart, and soul in the service of Hindu Dharma protection.”
The video talks about protecting Sanatan Dharma and does not mention Christians anywhere.
In conclusion, the viral claims about the video are false. The video is neither from Chhattisgarh nor recent. The individuals in the video are not vowing to kill Christians but are pledging to protect Sanatan Dharma.
