Fact-check
At the 2:07 minute time stamp in the video, we can see a disclaimer appear for two seconds stating that it is a scripted video and is meant for entertainment purposes only. Due to the poor quality of the video, the disclaimer is difficult to read.
However, we also found the full video uploaded by an entertainment channel on Facebook. The actual video is 4:20 minutes long. Here, we find a clearer picture of the disclaimer.
The disclaimer reads: “This video is a complete fiction all the events in the video are scripted and made for awareness purposes only this does not promote any kind of activity or defame any kind of rituals. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.”
Upon observing the video in its entirety we found that at 2:58 minutes mark the man in the skull cap finally explains why he opposes the national flag from being set up on bikes. He says that when flags are put up on vehicles sometimes they get uprooted and are found lying on roadsides and people end up walking over them, this visual hurt his sentiments. By the end of the clip, the three men agree with him and decide not to set up the flag on their bikes. We request our readers watch the full clip available on Facebook.
