“A video shows Kerala Congress media in-charge Mohammed Mujahid Islam shooting a cow for Priyanka Gandhi’s victory in the Wayanad by-election.”
What FACTLY found
This video is not related to the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-election or Priyanka Gandhi. While a few social media users and news reports claimed it was from Manipur, there is no conclusive evidence about its origin. However, the viral video has been circulating on social media since May 2024 whereas the Election Commission of India issued the Wayanad by-election notification on 15 October 2024, with voting on 13 November 2024 and counting on 23 November 2024.
