If you watch the viral video in slow motion, you can see that the man sitting on the roof is taking pictures with a mobile phone, not a pistol.
It has been found that a misleading video has been spread on social media such as Facebook, X and others, saying that shots were fired from the roof of a house in Naya Baneshwar during the Gen-G demonstration.
Sharing a short video on the X account with the handle @RamilaNepal7, Ramila Nepal wrote, "Who is hiding from above in front of the Parliament building and wielding a pistol?" She has also asked the question "will such evidence be preserved or not?".
The video he posted at 7:56 a.m. on Monday has 10,000 views and has been re-shared 54 times. Some others from UML background are also sharing this video .
Especially when the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli returned from the military barracks and said that there should be an investigation as soon as it was made public that 'automatic weapons not owned by the police' should be investigated. After that, the videos of this Kimis are being released . Kantipur has investigated how the video spread after it started to be widely shared on social media.
While tracing videos available on social networks, this video was first seen posted by a woman on the social network Tiktok on September 8 (23 August). That video has been liked 15,800 times, 455 saves and 1,617 shares.
It seems that this video was also uploaded from a TikTok account called 'Dejavu' on September 8. When watching both videos in slow motion, it appears that the man sitting on the roof is taking pictures with a mobile phone, not a pistol.
When this video was shot, tear gas and aerial fire were being fired from inside the Parliament building. That's why he seems to have taken a picture while trying to hide.

Where is the video from? Where was it taken from?
An analysis of the footage available on social media showed that the clip published as a pistol was misleading, but where was it taken from? Where did the person wearing the coat and pants live? To find out that, Kantipur Parliament House has also reached the building nearby. In the process, it was revealed that the video was from the roof of Standard Chartered Bank . There seems to be a restaurant too.
However, the public video is not from Standard Chartered Bank. It seems that the video was taken from the roof of a building with Himalaya Java on the road from Baneshwar to Shankhamul . The initially uploaded video shows 'red tiles', which are placed on the roof of a building containing Himalayan Java .
On the upper floor, there are travel agencies, cooperatives and other offices. Since Monday is a public holiday, many offices are not open . However, while talking to some of the employees of the open office, it was found that the girl who posted the video for the first time on Tiktok is an employee of a cooperative. So the public video clip of the pistol firing appears to be misleading.
