      Here's a round-up of the news you almost believed.

      A series of old and misleading videos and images involving a few churches in Karnataka’s (Mangaluru) Mangalore region have gone viral on WhatsApp and social media following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) victory in the recently concluded assembly election. A video clip showing police storm Saint Sebastian church has gone viral on Facebook. However, a fact-check revealed that the video is nearly 10 years old as the same sequence of events can be seen in an Al Jazeera news report from 2008. Read the full story here.

We looked for the original video and found it on Rajya Sabha TV’s You Tube channel. The video shows that Modi did infact misspell “Strength” as shown in the video. (Read the full story here)

      An old video of Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala disrespecting the Indian national anthem by walking away while it was being played has been revived again on social media. The video that first went viral three years back in March 2015 is now being shared by those upset with his decision to allow BJP to form the government despite not having the required numbers in their kitty. Read more about it here.
