FACT CHECK

When a request was received on Digiteye India’s WhatsApp tipline, we checked for authenticity and found the original video of this report here:

Posted on a channel named ‘All in one NEWs‘ with 10.5 lakh subscribers, the credit for the video was given to Instagram user @techparesh. Adn, the same man appeared in many other “Scripted” videos with different stories of relationships as seen on @techparesh Instagram account. In another video posted by @techparesh, he acts as the boyfriend of two girls. Several fact-checkers have debunked the man and his scripted images or videos in 2022. Hence, the claim is fabricated and false.

Claim: Image claims a 21-year-old Mohammad Irfan from Haryana married his own grandmother, Sultana Khatoon, breaking ll boundaries of familiar relationships.

Conclusion: False. The image and video are part of a “scripted video” from 2022 and shared using the same characters with different claims over a period of time.

Rating: Totally False — Five rating
