BOOM did a keyword search and found that the viral clip is from 2018, and the woman being assaulted is not a lady doctor. News reports have identified the assaulter as S Selvakumar, a local DMK leader who was expelled from the party, and later arrested. The incident took place at a beauty parlour at Perambalur Old Bus Stand, Tamil Nadu in May 2018. BOOM had debunked the claim when it was viral with the same claim earlier.
