      Scripted Video Peddled As Woman Being Harassed On A Bus In Delhi
      CLAIMVideo shows a female passenger being harassed on a bus in Delhi.
      FACT CHECKThe video does not depict any real incident. A digital creator conceptualised it, with a disclaimer stating it was made for entertainment purposes.

      A scripted video showing a group of men harassing a female passenger on a bus is being circulated on social media with the false claim that it shows a real incident which happened in Delhi.

      BOOM found that the video has been made by a content creator and does not show a real incident.

      The video shows a passenger on a bus recording the harassment of a fellow female passenger by a group of men. Moments later, the perpetrators threaten the man for raising a voice against the harassment.

      Several social media users shared the video as a real incident, urging authorities to take necessary action.

      A user on X posted the video with a Hindi caption that translates to, "Find these monsters in Delhi quickly".

      Fact Check

      BOOM ran a reverse image search on the video keyframes and was led to a longer version of the video on a YouTube channel called Aman Beniwal, uploaded on February 23, 2023.

      We went through the entire video and noticed a disclaimer at the 27-second mark stating that the content was created for entertainment purposes. Below is a screengrab of the disclaimer.


      Furthermore, we observed that the channel also featured several prank videos.

      On the Facebook page, Beniwal also referred to himself as a digital creator. See it here.
