Kiran Bedi Kiran Bedi posts 2017 movie scene on social media, claims it Nat Geo's video of actual shark attack on helicopter
New Delhi/IBNS: Retired IPS officer and former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, Kiran Bedi, on Wednesday posted a 15-second video on her 'verified' Twitter and Instagram accounts, which shows a giant shark pulling down a chopper flying over the ocean.
The ex-supercop claimed that it is a 'rare' National Geographic video of a shark attack on a helicopter.
"National Geographic channel has paid 1 Million Dollars for this rare video...What a video": a caption pasted on the video read.
However, during fact checks, it has been revealed that the footage is taken from Nico De Leon-directed movie '5 Headed Shark Attack' which was released in July, 2017.
Earlier in 2020, this footage had gone viral on social media platforms with the same 'claim' and the reality behind the video was then exposed by multiple fact-finding websites.
Kiran Bedi, who has shared the same video with the same fake and misleading information after two years, has been slammed by the netizens for her 'irresponsible' action.
This is not the first time, this 1972-batch IPS officer earlier posted several fake videos with misleading and false information on her Twitter account.
Bedi earlier got trolled on Twitter for posting a fake 'NASA video' of the Sun chanting 'Om', and sharing another fake and misleading post about egg and chicken.
