What We Found:
1) Visual Inconsistencies
At the three second mark, the gun suddenly appears in the woman's hand; she can't be seen pulling it out. After she fires a bullet, a cloud of smoke appears in front of the bike, which looks unnatural.
2) AI Video Posted By Pak Instagram Creator
We also found a clearer, horizontal version of the AI video, complete with a CCTV-style timestamp, posted by the Instagram handle @viral_mix_daily on June 28, 2026. The account based in Pakistan regularly posts AI-generated videos depicting women firing at harassers on bikes and cars.
3) AI Detection Tool Results
