We ran a keyword search and fund that the same video was shared on YouTube on March 3, 2021, by RTVE Noticias, a Spanish news portal.
As per the title of the video, the incident took place at a University in Bolivia.
On March 6, Inside Edition uploaded the video of the same incident from a different angle.
The same was reported by News 18 and the New York Post.
Moreover, we searched for any recent reports for any such incident in Guwahati but did not find any media report to support the claim. Hence, the claim is fake and misleading.
