A video of a pillion rider shooting a man riding a bike is being circulated on social media platforms with a claim that it shows a recent incident from Bihar.
What else did the claim say?: Those sharing the clip have identified the man as one Pawan Dusadh and said that he was allegedly shot in daylight. The users have also taken a dig at the ruling government in the state.
What is the truth?: The incident could be traced back to October 2024, when a man named Gabriel Júnior de Oliveira Medeiros was allegedly murdered in Brazil's João Pessoa. This makes the claim false.
How did we find that out?: We divided the video into several keyframes and performed a reverse image search on them.
A Google Lens search directed us to a similar visual published in a report by 'NBN PARAÍBA' in October 2024.
It said that a 22-year-old man, who worked as a motorcycle courier, was shot dead while riding a motorcycle in João Pessoa, Brazil.
The Civil Police had reportedly identified the suspects and had launched investigations to nab them.
As per the police chief Giovani Giacomelli, the victim had no criminal record.
Other reports: A different news report shared by 'O POVO PB' identified the victim as one Gabriel Júnior de Oliveira Medeiros, a 22-year-old man.
The report further said that the police had identified one of the suspects and were very close to identifying the second.
Conclusion: It is evident that the video is old and unrelated to Bihar or any other states in India.
