evidence: An old video of a boy offering namaz on a street has been falsely linked to the recent Karnataka elections in May 2023. The video is not from India. A 40-second video showing a boy engaged in namaz (Islamic prayer) on a busy street is being shared as an incident in Karnataka and linked to the results of the state's elections in May 2023 where the Congress party defeated incumbent government of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the video, the boy lays a green prayer mat on the road and performs namaz while vehicles pause at a traffic signal. [...] The video of a boy praying in a bustling street is not originally from Karnataka, contrary to the claims circulating on social media. The posts asserting a connection to the aftermath of the Karnataka elections are false.
