What FACTLY found

This video is on YouTube at least since 2017. Few verified YouTube channels and Tamil local news channels shared this video back in 2017 with the claim that the video shows flood-hit Marina beach. However, we could not find any credible evidence to establishing that this video is related to the 2017 Chennai floods

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

In short

This claim spread on social media around 25 November 2020. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 26 November 2020, 1 day later. Its rating was “MISLEADING”.
