Although this earthquake was felt in Delhi and the nearby areas, there were no fatalities or significant setbacks.
The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: “#CCTV footage of #Delhi #earthquake”

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.
Our fact-finding team found a YouTube channel that carried the same viral video on January 21, 2021, with a caption: “Magnitude 7.1 Davao earthquake.” This clearly means that the video is not related to the recent earthquake in Delhi-NCR.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, or Phivolcs, reported about this earthquake on January 21, 2021, stating that it was a magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck the waters off Jose Abad Santos town in Davao Occidental, with strong intensities felt in some parts of Mindanao.
We were not able to verify the location of the viral video. And it is clear from the above information that the viral video is quite old and not related to the recent earthquake in Delhi-NCR.
