FACT-CHECK
Digteye India first checked for authenticity of the video with the help of some key frames. When checked on Google Reverse Image Search, we found that the person in the video is Aryan, 22, a Delhi-based Instagram influencer and not the teen from Pune who was accused in the Porsche crash case, also confirmed by the Pune Police.
Aryan’s video was shared on May 23 and the rap singer himself told media that he had made the video (now deleted). “The case was trending and I thought of writing a rap about it. People can take it whichever way they want, I just used my art and creativity to create a funny and satirical piece,” he said as per the news reports.
Further search on social media revealed that the accused Pune teen’s mother Shivani Agarwal shared a video clarifying that his son was in police detention and that the rap video was not by his son.
