A video is getting viral on social media platforms. The video shows a buffalo fiercely killing passers-by. Not only this but the enraged buffalo attacks an infant as well. Users on social media are claiming that the ultimate cause of the buffalo’s wrath is sacrifice due to Bakrid.
A news portal named Trunicle posted this video on Twitter from its official account and wrote: “Relatives of the cattle settle scores after the blood shed by the community”.
Trunical is an online news portal, known for publishing Sanskrit and Hindi news and it has 18.9k followers on Twitter.
This tweet has been retweeted over 800 times. Furthermore, it has received approximately 43k views on Twitter.
Several social media users are also sharing this video on the Internet.
Fact-Check
To verify the authenticity of this video, the Dfrac team converted this video into some keyframes and then reverse-searched it on Google. Meanwhile, we found this video on the News18 Bihar-Jharkhand YouTube channel on January 13, 2023, with the caption: “Buffalo Viral Video” Buffalo created terrible terror, you would be amazed to watch.” The location of this video was not revealed by News18.
In addition to that, we found this video on another YouTube channel named Haider Al-Hasani with the title: A bull butts passers-by and bruises a child, which was uploaded on January 1, 2023.
Conclusion
It is clear from Dfrac’s Fact-Check that the viral video is 6 to 7 months old, not the recent one. Therefore, the claim of other social media users including Trunicle is misleading. Our team is investigating the original source and location. More information will be updated on our website as soon as we find it.
