Fact Check
We conducted research to check the authenticity of the video shared by AAP leaders.
To investigate the fact of the viral video, first, we pause the video and zoomed it. On the rear of the bus, we discovered the RTO office code TN21. Kancheepuram RTO was identified through further TN21 code research as the name of the office.
Our investigation revealed that the viral video is from Tamil Nadu, ruled by DMK government, not Gujarat, as claimed by AAP leaders.
We used Google’s reverse image tool to look for the viral video’s crucial frame in order to learn more about the incident. We came across many media reports. As per the report by DT Next report, a 9th grade student was injured after falling off a moving bus on Tuesday morning in Madurantagam, Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu. According to the report, Nivendan (13), a resident of Southpakkam in Madurantagam, attends a private school in Achrapakkam. Nivendan boarded a government bus on Tuesday morning and travelled to Achrapakkam. Police said that the bus was overcrowded and more than 10 school students were forced to travel on the bus ladder.
When the bus was on its way to Achrapakkam, Nivendan, who was on the stairs of the bus, lost his grip and fell on the road. Soon after, other kids started yelling for help, and the bus driver halted it right after.
According to police, the boy sustained minor injuries and was taken to a private hospital in Melmaruvathur. Melmaruvathur police have registered a case and further investigation is so on.
hence, from our research it is evident that the video by AAP leader has nothing to do with Gujarat. The incident of school boy falling from bus is from Melmaruvathur police station are of Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu.
