Fact Check:
The video that went viral was not taken on Sathyamangalam Dhimbam hill station. While searching for the video, we find a video captioned as Nandi Hills area on May 31, 2020, on a Malayalam YouTube channel.
Nandi Hills is located at a distance of 61 km from Bangalore in Karnataka. The video was taken in the early hours of the morning. A video of aerial footage taken in the Nandi Hills area during the day has been released in 2018.
The video, taken in the Nandi Hills area of Karnataka, was incorrectly spreading as allegedly taken in Wayanad, Kerala and in Satyamangalam, Tamil Nadu.
Earlier, a photo of a road in Australia was falsely reported as Satyamangalam area on social media.
