      BOOM contacted Bhadauria who confirmed that the girl had reunited with her family. "I had shot the video around a year ago, when I had found her in my colony in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh."

      He further went on to mention that after taking her home, he shot the video and shared it via WhatsApp to help identify the girl's parents. "After her parents came to know about her whereabouts, they immediately came over and took her home." Bhadauria told us that the parents told him that when they were filling water when the child was playing and got lost.

      "The video has been spread with fake claims, and I have been getting calls since a year regarding her whereabouts," added Bhadauria.

      The same video was previously debunked by Newschecker.
