Fact check: Bill Gates reached Mahakumbh? Video went viral on social media, know the reality of viral claim

New Delhi: Crores of devotees are coming to take bath in the Mahakumbh held in Prayagraj. In which foreigners are also included. Meanwhile, a picture is going viral on social media. While sharing it, it is being claimed that Bill Gates has also reached Mahakumbh. Let us know what is the truth of the viral claim

What are the claims of the users?

On social media, a user named @mohan_author shared a video claiming that Bill Gates had reached the Mahakumbh Mela.

At the same time, a 17-second clip was uploaded on a YouTube channel named THE WAVE, claiming that Bill Gates has reached the Mahakumbh Mela.

What is the truth of the picture and video?

When Sajjag’s team tried to find out the truth of the viral video, it came to know that this video is not from Prayagraj. The viral video is old and is from Banaras. First of all, Sajjag’s team checked the viral video through reverse image and found many other X-posts. In which it was claimed that Bill Gates had come to Varanasi.

However, when we searched another key frame of this video with the help of Google Lens, we found a video of December 24 on a YouTube channel named Gulluck. In which it was said that a person looking like Bill Gates was seen in Kashi Vishwanath.

We also found many other videos on that channel. That person made one of those videos at the same place where a man who looked like Bill Gates was standing. It can be seen in the video that the woman who is also seen in the viral video is seen in the video made from another angle.

It can be clearly seen in both the videos that there is no security personnel with the person who is being shared as Bill Gates, because if he/she was really Bill Gates then the common YouTuber would not have been able to go so close to him/her and make the video. Sajjag’s team searched Bill gates in India on Google but did not find any such report related to Bill Gates. In which it is mentioned that he/she has recently come to India or has gone to Kashi. Let us tell you that Bill Gates comes in the list of the richest people in the world. If he/she goes somewhere, his/her information comes in the media but no media report was found about his/her visiting Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

conclusion: The claim on social media of Bill Gates coming to Mahakumbh is false. Sajjak’s investigation revealed that the viral video is not of Mahakumbh, nor is the person seen in the video Bill Gates.
