“The video shows people protesting in front of the Gateway of India in Mumbai against the imposition of Marathi.”
What FACTLY found
The video is AI-generated and does not depict a real protest. There are no credible media reports of such a protest occurring in front of the Gateway of India. The video was originally shared by an Instagram user named “Paribhraman” on 09 April 2025, which clearly stated that the entire content was AI-generated. An AI detection tool also confirmed that the video was created using artificial intelligence.
