A scripted video created for entertainment is being falsely shared as a real incident of a Muslim man posing as a Hindu to trap a Hindu woman

A video on social media apparently shows police officers apprehending a Muslim man named Irfan posing as a Hindu man named Ravi to trap a Hindu girl. We will fact-check this claim through this article. 

An archived version of this post can be found here.

Claim: Real incident of police catching a Muslim man posing as a Hindu to trap a Hindu woman.

Fact: This is a scripted video created by social media content creator Monty Deepak Sharma, not a real incident. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.

To verify the claim, we conducted a reverse image search on the internet using a few keyframes from the viral video. This search led us to an Instagram post that contained the same video. This was uploaded by a user named ‘monty_deepak_sharma_’ on 3 December 2025.

The video contains a disclaimer that says, ‘This content is for entertainment purposes only. You should not act on or rely on this information as professional advice. The video is intended purely for entertainment and is not meant to provide information or target any community or group.’ 

According to the bio on this page, Monty Deepak Sharma is a digital creator. This makes it clear that the viral video is scripted and does not depict a real incident. We also found the same video on Monty Deepak Sharma’s Facebook page, where he describes himself as a ‘Digital Creator’ as well.

To sum up, a scripted video created for entertainment is being falsely shared as a real incident of a Muslim man posing as a Hindu to trap a Hindu woman.
