      Video Of Police Chase In Brazil Falsely Viral As Terrorist Caught In Kashmir

      A video from Pérola, Brazil of police chasing down a man and knocking him off his motorcycle as he tries to escape is being shared with the false claim that it shows a terrorist being caught by security forces in Srinagar, Jammu And Kashmir.

      In the 17-second clip, we can see a police vehicle chase a biker, knocking him off the bike in the process, and a policeman then kicking him to the ground apprehending him.

      The clip is being shared with the caption when translated reads, "Srinagar live terrorist arrested"
