Recently, a video featuring a couple of men misbehaving with a schoolgirl went viral on social media. In the video, a man can be seen saving the girl from these miscreants. We fact-check this claim through this article.
Claim: This video shows a man saving a schoolgirl from the hands of molesters.
Fact:  This is a scripted video made for entertainment purposes. This was uploaded on YouTube two years ago by a video creator named ‘Naveen Jangra.’  Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
To check the veracity of the viral claim, we performed a reverse image search on the internet, which led us to the original full-length version of the viral video. This video was uploaded on a verified YouTube channel named ‘Naveen Jangra.’ According to his Instagram bio, he is a ‘video creator.’
At the beginning of the video, at around the 0:15 second mark (archive link), a disclaimer appears on the video, which says that content made in the video was created for ‘entertainment purposes’ only. In other words, the video is fictional and does not portray a real incident.
To sum up, a scripted video made for entertainment purposes is shared as a real incident.
