“The video shows a new patrol bike initiative launched in Tamil Nadu by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, after assuming office.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show a new patrol bike initiative launched by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, after assuming office. The video actually shows a 24-hour two-wheeler patrol initiative launched by Salem District Police in January 2026, before the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The initiative was flagged off by Goutham Goyal, Superintendent of Police, Salem District.
