A video of a man slipping while kicking a football is widely circulated on social media claiming that it is Congress leader Udit Raj.
The video was shared with a caption: मैच का प्रारंभ कराते हुए आदरणीय डॉक्टर साहब श्री उदित राज भाई.
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be false.
Extracting keyframes of the video, we found the same video shared on YouTube in 2019.
The same video was also published on 9gags in August 2017.
This indicates that the video has been on Internet since 2017. The same video had been uploaded on the YouTube channel The Correspondent in August 2017, with a title: “Congress MLA Gopal Chandra Roy slipped while kicking football”.
Thus, it can be concluded that it’s an old video from Tripura, and not related to Congress leader Udit Raj.
