    • A 2018 video from Morocco showing a man on fire at a mall is being shared in India with a false claim that the incident happened at Kerala's Kannur International Airport.

      The 20-second clip shows a man engulfed by large flames walking in a mall as security personnel scramble to extinguish the fire.

      The Kannada caption accompanying the clip claims the incident happened at Kannur airport after a man's phone exploded while charging it through a power bank.

      "The accident occurred in Kannur International airport, when a man was charging his cell phone using power bank and caught fire. Let's share the video to raise the awareness," the text translated from Kannada claims.

      (Translated from Kannada - ಕಣ್ಣೂರು ಏರ್ ಪೋರ್ಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪವರ್ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್ ಅನ್ನು ಜೇಬಿನಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ತನ್ನ ಸೆಲ್ ಫೋನ್ ಚಾರ್ಜ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ ಈ ಅಪಘಾತ ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದೆ. ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಜಾಗೃತಿ ಮೂಡಿಸಲು ಇದನ್ನು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದಷ್ಟು ಜನರಿಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸೋಣ.)

      The same video was viral in 2018, with a different claim saying that the incident happened at a mall in Dubai with a similar claim about a mobile phone exploding.
