Viral video claiming Adani has taken over Indian Railways is false, it’s just an ad
By The Print
A video of a train with ‘Fortune Chakki Fresh Atta’ advertisements has been doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter since Saturday, with claims that the Adani Group has taken over Indian Railways.
The short minute-long video shows a train with posters of ‘Fortune Chakki Fresh Atta’ and ‘Adani Wilmar’ stuck on it. Adani Wilmar sells a whole range of FMCG products under the Fortune brand.
A Facebook user shared the video with the caption “Adani Airports… Adani Ports… Adani Power… Adani Coal India… Adani Railways.” This post has 350 shares.
The post infers that the railways has been sold to Adanis but this is a hoax. Though several such users have shared the video with the caption ‘Adani Railways’ since then. Like here and here.
Similar posts have cropped up on Twitter. One user shared the video with the caption “Railways’ Prime Properties will be sold to the Private Sector!”
