Scripted Video Shared as Real Incident of Police Arresting Muslim Man for Trapping Hindu Girl
A video (here, here, here & here) showing police arresting a Muslim man for allegedly trapping and marrying a Hindu girl is being widely shared on social media, with claims that it depicts a real incident of “Love Jihad.” Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Real incident of police arresting a Muslim man for trapping a Hindu woman.
Fact: The viral video is scripted and does not depict a real incident. It was uploaded by Monty Deepak Sharma, a video creator, on his Instagram handle on 02 April 2025. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
A reverse image search of the keyframes from the viral video led us to the original, full-length (archive) version uploaded on the Instagram and Facebook pages of Monty Deepak Sharma on 02 April 2025. The bio on these pages identifies Monty Deepak Sharma as a video creator.
These pages feature videos (here, here, and here) involving the same individuals seen in the viral video, participating in other similar incidents. However, the disclaimer clearly states that these videos are works of fiction created solely for entertainment purposes, indicating that they are scripted and do not depict real events.
Previously, FACTLY had debunked another video made by Monty Deepak Sharma, which was falsely shared as a real incident involving a Muslim man threatening a police officer. At the time, we contacted Monty Deepak Sharma, who confirmed to FACTLY that their videos are fictional and do not depict real incidents.
To sum it up, the viral video claiming to show a real incident of police arresting a Muslim man for trapping a Hindu woman is a scripted video created for entertainment purposes.
