A video showing a large crowd gathered on Marine Drive in Mumbai has recently circulated, with claims that it is from the recent ‘Tiranga Samvidhan Rally’ organized by AIMIM. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this video is not recent. In fact, it dates back to July 2024, capturing the celebrations during the victory parade for Team India after their triumph in the T20 World Cup held in the US and West Indies.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter) @Jannat_Jahaan_ wrote. “Whoever wanted to see where the Muslims are, look here today, Muslims are here. If you tease them, they won’t let you go. Remember, a sleeping lion doesn’t attack until it is awakened and if it wakes up. Then understand that it will be difficult for you to survive”. (Translated from Hindi)
Another account @Saba_speak also shared the video and wrote, “Crowds of people who love the Prophet on the streets of Mumbai”. ( Translated from Hindi)

As soon as the posts containing the video and claims came to our notice. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the video and found that the video was not from the ‘Tiranga Samvidhan Rally’ but an old video from the Victory Parade of Team India.
To verify the claims made by the users. We performed a reverse image search of some key frames from the viral video on Google Lens. This led us to several social media posts and media reports (1, 2) containing the same visuals uploaded in July 2024.
