Fact
On carefully analysing the viral footage, we spotted a reporter interviewing a protester, and questioning, “who should the people of Adampur vote for then?”
Taking a clue, we looked up keywords “पंजाब,” “आदमपुर” “आम आदमी पार्टी” and “विरोध” (Punjab, Adampur, Aam Aadmi Party and Protest) on YouTube, which yielded a report by IBN24 News Network, dated November 1, 2022. It stated that a group of former-servicemen from Punjab arrived in Khairampur village in Adampur, to urge voters to not vote for the AAP in the Adampur by-poll.

Around 4:30 minutes into the video, we spotted the same protester speaking against the AAP as seen in the viral footage.

Furthermore, in the viral footage, the banner attached to the mini-truck carrying the protesters reads, “Reinstate the GoG scheme.”

We then looked up keywords “GoG Scheme,” “protest” and “Punjab” on Google which led us to multiple reports from 2022 detailing the agitation by ex-servicemen demanding the reinstatement of the Guardians of Governance scheme .

One such report by the Hindustan Times, dated September 13, 2022, stated, “A large number of ex-servicemen marched towards the venue with black strips on their red turbans to mark their protest over the scrapping of the GoG scheme, a flagship programme of previous Captain Amarinder Singh government to hire ex-servicemen to monitor government programmes.”
Notably, a shorter version of the video had gone viral in November, 2022, claiming to show an anti-AAP stir in Gujarat. The same was debunked by Newschecker on November 11, 2022, and can be seen here.
We could thus conclude that an old video of ex-servicemen from Punjab urging Haryana voters to vote against the AAP has been shared out of context amid ongoing Lok Sabha Polls.
Result: Missing Context
