Fact Check: Mock drill video from Bhagalpur jail shared as Coronavirus positive case

Date:

A video is being shared on social media with a claim that a senior official in Bhagalpur central jail has contracted the Coronavirus.

भागलपुर के सेंट्रल जेल में बड़ा बाबू को करोना हुआ।भागलपुर के सेंट्रल जेल में बड़ा बाबू को करोना हुआ।” the caption read. 

(Translation- Senior official in Bhagalpur’s Central Jail contracts Coronavirus)

 

FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the above video and found that the claim attached to the video is FAKE.

When we extracted the keyframes of the video through InVid and put them through Reverse Image Search, we found the original video on Nation Bharat’s YouTube channel titled ‘Bihar के Bhagalpur Central Jail में हुआ कोरोना का मॉक ड्रिल, ऐसे ही तड़पता है कोरोना का मरीज’ (Translation- Corona’s mock drill conducted in Bihar’s Bhagalpur Central Jail. This is how a Corona patient suffers)

On further investigation, we found a report by Dainik Bhaskar dated April 10 about the mock drill that was carried out in Bhagalpur’s Central Jail on April 9, 2020.

This conclusively proves that the video being shared is of a mock drill and hence, the claim is false.
