FACT-CHECK
Taking a cue from replies pointing out that the viral clip is not from Delhi, we searched with keywords 'Jaipur' 'flooded bus' on Google and found news reports on the incident which stated that it is from Jaipur, Rajasthan.Patrika on August 11, 2020, reported that heavy rains led to waterlogging on the streets in the city on August 10, 2020. It also had the viral clip inside its article which has the same visuals.
On comparing the sequence of events in both the clips, we found that both were the same as water is seen entering the bus as it drives through the flooded road.
On can view a longer video of the incident which was uploaded on YouTube by Khaskhabar, an online news portal on August 11, 2020, with the caption 'Water enters the low-floor bus during the heavy rains in Jaipur'.
At the 59 seconds timestamp in the video, we can spot in Hindi written 'Jaipur Bus', which shows that is indeed a bus from Jaipur.
