Video showing cows being transported through Adani port for slaughter is not from India
New Delhi: A viral video circulating on social media purportedly showing thousands of cows being transported from Adani port in Gujarat to Arab countries for slaughter has been debunked as misleading and misrepresented.

Claim: The video shared by a user named Sandeep Verma falsely claimed to depict the transportation of cows from Adani port in Gujarat to Arab countries for slaughter. The claim gained traction and was widely shared, accumulating over 1 million views and 10,000 shares across various social media platforms.
Reality: An investigation into the origin of the video revealed that it was initially posted on TikTok approximately five days ago, confirming its location in Egypt. Further scrutiny led to the discovery of the original poster, Hamed ELhagary, a meat wholesaler based in Damietta, Egypt. ELhagary shared the video on April 19, 2024, from Râs El-Barr, Dumyat, Egypt.
The video's context was related to the transportation of livestock within Egypt, particularly in preparation for Eid Al-Adha, a cultural event commonly known as the Festival of Sacrifice. This was evident from the caption accompanying the video on ELhagary's Facebook post, which translates to "Preparing for Eid Al-Adha."
ELhagary's Facebook profile showcased a series of similar videos, indicating his involvement in the meat industry in Egypt. The visual cues in the video, such as the transportation vehicle and the attire of the individuals handling the cows, further supported its connection to Egypt rather than India.
Therefore, the claim that the video depicts cows being transported from Adani port in Gujarat to Arab countries for slaughter is false. The video instead portrays the transportation of livestock within Egypt, particularly in preparation for cultural events like Eid Al-Adha.
The video’s visual cues also debunk this claim. The van seen in the video does not resemble Indian transport vehicles. Instead, it is very similar to the methods commonly used in Egypt. Moreover, the clothing of the people who handle the cows is not typical work clothing in India.
