A video circulating on social media (here, here) claims to show a real incident of a massive python emerging from a luggage rack inside a crowded train in Madhya Pradesh, triggering fear and panic among passengers. Let’s verify the truth behind the video in this article.
Claim: The video shows a massive python in a crowded train in Madhya Pradesh, causing panic.
Fact: The viral video does not show a real incident of a massive python in a crowded Madhya Pradesh train causing panic; It is an AI-generated video. The video was created and uploaded by digital creator Shawn Arranha on his Instagram handle. Analysis using the Hive AI content detection tool gave it a 98.3% likelihood of being AI-generated. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video led us to an Instagram post by @shawnnarranhanft on 12 November 2025 featuring the same video. The post’s description included hashtags like #Sora and #Sora2, indicating the video was likely created using Sora AI.
Upon reviewing Shawn Arranha’s profile, we found that he regularly posts AI-generated videos. His bio states that he is a digital creator who makes shocking viral content.
To further verify whether the viral video is AI-generated, we analysed it using the Hive AI content detection tool. The tool flagged the video with an aggregate score of 98.3%, indicating that it is likely fake.
It is important to note that multiple media reports (here, here) stated that panic broke out among passengers aboard the Andaman Express on 27 November 2025 while it was heading towards Vijayawada, after a python was spotted in the S-2 sleeper coach. TTE Venkateshwarlu noticed the snake shortly after the train had crossed Dornakal and immediately informed RPF CI Suresh Goud. The officer then contacted a snake catcher named Mastan, who was arranged to reach Dornakal Railway Station to safely remove the reptile. However, the viral video in question is unrelated to this incident.
To sum up, the viral video showing a massive python causing panic in a crowded Madhya Pradesh train is AI-generated.
