Old Clip from July Viral as Protestors Breaking Temple in Nepal Recently

Summary: A video is circulating online, purportedly showing protestors vandalizing the Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal during recent protests. Initial investigation involved taking screenshots of the footage and conducting a Google reverse image search, which led to a Facebook post containing the same video. The post questioned the origins of the festival at Pashupatinath Temple, asking viewers about the nature of the event and the participants who appeared to have climbed the temple gate. The video, however, originates from July, indicating it is not related to current events.

• The spread of misinformation can escalate tensions during sensitive events, potentially affecting public perception and trust.
• Businesses should be aware of the increased scrutiny and potential backlash associated with viral content, which could impact reputations.

• The video in question is over three months old and has been misattributed to recent protests in Nepal.
