What is the truth of the viral video?
To find out the truth of the viral claim, we reverse searched the keyframes of the video on Google Images. During investigation we found this video on a YouTube channel named Aman Beniwal. The video was uploaded on 23 February 2023.
Watch video:
In this 13-minute video, it can be seen that a person stops the boys who are molesting the girl. Later, this person beats these boys and the boys who were molesting them also apologize to the girl. On watching this 13-minute video carefully, we saw a disclaimer at the 27th second.
It was written in it that this video has been made only for entertainment. That means it was not based on a true incident. It was clear that this video was scripted.
