      Video From Australia Shared As PM Modis Cavalcade Chased In US

      A video showing a crowd attacking police vehicles on the street is viral on social media with captions falsely claiming that it shows Americans chasing down Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cavalcade during his recent US visit.

      BOOM found that the viral video is from Melbourne, Australia and the claim is false.

      Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his three-day-long official visit to the United States on September 25, 2021. During the tour, he attended the Quad summit, addressed the 76th session of the United Nations Security Council and also met US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The video is viral in this backdrop.

      A Hindi caption with a Facebook post sharing the viral video translates to 'Never was an Indian Prime Minister chased down by the public in the history of America. American army had to rush to safety with Modi. Hail America's farmers unity. Watch how Modi was chased down by farmers in America'.

      (Hindi: अमेरिकी इतिहास में कभी भी भारतीय प्रधानमंत्री को पब्लिक ने दौड़ा-दौड़ा कर नहीं भगाया था। अमेरिकी फ़ौज मोदी को लेकर उल्टे पॉव भागी अमेरिका किसान एकता जिंदाबाद मोदी की अमेरिका में किसानों के आगे भागने की बेज़ती जरूर देखें।)
