Lighthouse Journalism came across a video being shared widely on social networking platforms. It was claimed along with the video that the video is from a political rally organised by the opposition. During the investigation we found that the video is not from any political public meeting. Viral claims are false.
Claim:
X user Jeetu Burdak shared the video on his platform.
Check the archive version of the post.
Other users too are sharing the same claim.
Investigation:
We uploaded the video in the InVid tool and obtained several keyframes from the video, we then ran a reverse image search on the keyframes one by one.
Through this we found a reel on the Facebook page of Hosanna Fellowship.
The first part of this reel was the same as that of the viral video being shared.
The caption of the video suggested that the video was from the 47th International Feast of Tabernacle from Hosanna ministries.
We ran a YouTube keyword search on “47th International Feast of Tabernacle from Hosanna ministries”.
Through this we found a video on the YouTube channel of Hosanna Ministries Official.
The video was streamed a month ago.
At the end of the video, around 4:48:08 the visuals from the viral video can be seen in this video.
We found a few more videos from the event that resembled the widely shared video.
We then searched about the Hosanna Ministries‘. We found out that Hosanna Ministries (Guntur) is the Headquarters for Ministries in India.
We also reached out to the Hosanna Ministries’ HQ over a phone call. They informed that the video is from the 47th International Feast of Tabernacle that was organized in Guntur. The person on the other side of the call also informed that the audio has been overlapped on the video from the Guntur event.
Conclusion: Video clip from 47th International Feast of Tabernacle held in Guntur, is being shared as recent as that of an Opposition rally organized ahead of elections. Viral claims are false.
