      Claim

      An old and scripted video from Egypt, overlaid with a Kannada audio is being circulated on platforms to falsely claim that children in Karnataka are being kidnapped. The Kannada audio claims that unidentified people were spotted in Chellagurki, a village in Bellary district, Karnataka. It further warns households to be careful about children and protect them from the 'miscreants and antisocial' people. The video shows visuals of a man in a burqa kidnapping a child from a busy street.

      FactCheck

We found Egyptian news reports stating that the incident was staged and that four people were arrested from Sohag Governorate in Egypt for making the video. Egypt's Ministry Of Interior social media also posted about the same.
