A video which shows a man wearing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) flag getting egged is being circulated on social media platforms as a recent incident from Bihar.
What have users said?: Those sharing the clip with a caption in Hindi that loosely translated to, "BJP leader attacked with egg in Bihar, now people in Bihar are not voting, but throwing eggs!."
How did we find that out?: On conducting a Google Lens search on the keyframes of the viral video, we found a news report published by India Today.
It said that an egg was thrown at former minister and Karnataka BJP leader Munirathna by unknown people while he was participating in an event in Bengaluru.
The programme was organised to mark the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The BJP accused Congress workers of throwing eggs at the leader.
Other sources: The Indian Express had shared the same visuals on their official YouTube channel on 26 December 2024.
It was shared with a title that said, "Karnataka News: Egg Thrown at BJP MLA Munirathna In Bengaluru; Claims Assassination Attempt."
Conclusion: It is evident that the video is old and unrelated to Bihar.
