Description:

A video purportedly showing three men of Indian origin washing clothes inside a fountain at a cultural heritage site in Moscow has gone viral on social media. In the clip, several bystanders can be seen recording and laughing at the men, while a voiceover claims that “Indian visitors” turned the famous Friendship of Peoples Fountain into a laundry spot. The caption accompanying the post further alleges that such behaviour is “completely normal in their country.”

NewsMobile verified the claim and found that the viral video is AI-generated.

The NM team investigated the viral claim and found no credible or mainstream media reports, either in India or Russia, carrying any such incident.
