A video (here, here, here, and here) claiming to show police brutality is going viral on social media. In the video, a police officer can be seen grabbing a man’s hair and punching him, while another officer stands nearby. The same video is also being shared with the claim that it shows policemen torturing a woman in a police station. In this article, we fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: The video shows policemen torturing a woman in a police station.
Fact: This video is scripted and does not depict a real incident. It was uploaded to a YouTube channel named ‘Haunted Guru Ji’ on 06 September 2025. The video’s description clearly states that it was created for entertainment purposes, clarifying that the visuals are part of a scripted production. Similar scripted videos can also be found on the channel. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
To learn more about the viral video, we conducted a Google reverse image search using keyframes from the clip. This search led us to a full-length video uploaded to a YouTube channel named ‘Haunted Guru Ji’ on 06 September 2025, titled “AGHORI TANTRIK | Came to eat the body before the funeral | NABALIK KI NARBALI | The mess turned out to be serious” (translated from Hindi to English).
In the video’s description, the creators included the following disclaimer: “The material and information contained in this video are strictly for information related to paranormal activities and are for entertainment purposes only. You should not rely upon the information in the video as a basis for making any decisions. Anything you may choose to do with the information obtained from our content would be at your own risk and is not recommended by the channel.

Based on this information, it is evident that this scripted video is being falsely shared as real visuals of policemen torturing an individual in a police station. Upon reviewing the channel, we found that it regularly uploads similar scripted videos. Other such videos from the same channel can be seen here.
Earlier, Factly had published a fact-check debunking another video from this channel that went viral with the false claim that Aghoris attempted to offer human sacrifice in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
To sum it up, a scripted video is being falsely shared as footage of policemen torturing an individual in a police station.
