A viral video circulating on social media (here, here, and here) shows two masked individuals on a bike harassing an elderly man who is carrying eggs on a bicycle. Let’s uncover the truth behind this video in this article.
Claim: A video shows two masked individuals on a bike harassing an elderly man who is carrying eggs on a bicycle.
Fact: The viral video is a scripted one made by blogger Muklesur Bhaijaan, who often posts similar videos on his social media. His bio revealed that he shares riding vlogs and scripted content. We found another video on his channel featuring the same elderly man carrying eggs on a bicycle and being harassed by young men. The viral video was also shared on his Facebook page with a caption stating it is a short film, and that it is scripted. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
A reverse image search of the key frames from the viral video led us to a YouTube channel named Muklesur Bhaijaan, where the same viral video was uploaded on 09 January 2024, with the description “Rider vs chapri | chapri What did you do 😡😡 broke the eggs of poor people 😭😭 youtuber help korlo 😇😇shor.”
We noticed that he regularly uploads similar fight videos, and his bio revealed that he uploads riding vlogs and scripted videos.
We also found a video (here) on his channel where the same elderly man is seen carrying eggs on a bicycle and being harassed by young men.
Additionally, we found the same video posted on his Facebook handle, where the caption revealed it is a short film, confirming that these videos are scripted.
To sum up, a scripted video of an elderly man harassed by two masked individuals on a bike is being falsely shared as a real incident.
