FACT-CHECK
When Digiteye India received a request on its WhatsApp tipline, we took it up and searched for the original video. A key frame has been used to match with Google Reverse Image Search and the results showed that it was a familiar video made on the same canal in the past. Further search about the creator led us to his Instagram page where Sachin Jaiswal makes these videos regularly. See his videos below:
The video with a claim is also part of these videos, which are pre-planned and staged for Instagram reels and hence, not real videos.
