Fact Check: Old Video Of Crowded Platform Linked To UP PET 2022

Date:

A video of a crowded platform has started making rounds on the internet with a claim that it shows candidates travelling for UP-PET 2022.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, several bus depots and railway stations in Uttar Pradesh were jam-packed as a large number of Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) aspirants were travelling to exam centres for the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2022.

The video was shared with the text: यूपी PET-गुड़गोबर व्यवस्था। क्या बेटियां ऐसे में ट्रैवल कर सकती हैं #UPSSSC_PET2022 (English Translation: UP PET-Gurgobar system. Can daughters travel in this?#UPSSSC_PET2022)

Here’s the link to the above post.

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claim to be false.

On putting keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we found the same video on YouTube published on March 21, 2016. The title of the video read, ‘Amazing Mumbai local crowd’.

We also found that the same video was uploaded in 2019 on YouTube.

The viral claim was also debunked by the Twitter page Uttar Pradesh Fact Check on October 15, 2022, where it was clarified that the video in circulation is old.


NewsMobile had debunked the same video in 2021 when it was shared as crowded Borivali station in Mumbai on the first day after local train services were operationalised for all commuters after COVID-19.

Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the video is old and the post is misleading.
