Claim: Video depicting an iftar party held on a road in Kolkata, West Bengal.
Fact-check: Video of an iftar party held on a road in Mangaluru is being shared incorrectly linking it to Kolkata - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video depicts an iftar party held on a road in mangaluru on 30 march 2024. according to reports, the event blocked over 200 meters of the state highway, restricting traffic to one side of the road, and causing difficulties for motorists and pedestrians for more than four hours during peak time. following the video's viral spread on social media platforms, the election commission of india issued a notice to the main organizer of the 'auto rajakanmar iftar' event, abubakar siddique, for violating the model code of conduct  on 31 march 2024. there are no reports about any such iftar party held on roads in kolkata recently. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
