2022 Dog Bite Incident in Thailand Falsely Viral as One From Delhi’s Rohini

This clip is from Thailand from 2022 and not Delhi's Rohini.

A viral video of a CCTV clip showing two children, accompanied by a woman is being shared on social media. In the video, a dog is seen lunging at one of the children.

Those sharing have claimed that the incident occurred in Delhi's Rohini.

(Archives of similar claim can be found here and here.) We also received a query about this on our WhatsApp tipline number.

Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false. This incident is from Thailand and dates back to 2022.

What we found: At first, we ran a relevant keyword search and found a post on a page named "our_rohini and rohini_walee" from 8 July.

• The post read, " A video is going viral on the internet with the claim that a dog suddenly attacks a child in Rohini, Delhi. Our team found that it is not from Rohini but from South Pattaya. This incident is from 20 June 2024." (sic.)

• We, then, ran another keyword search and came across a YouTube video on AMARINTV from 22 June 2022. It included a similar frame as the viral video.

• As per several reports, a CCTV clip went viral showing a 4-year-old boy of a foreign labourer being mauled by a dog in a neighbourhood in Pattaya, Thailand.

• The dog ran away when its owner opened the door to take out the garbage. The family that released the video explained that it served as a caution, and the issue has now been settled between the child's dad and the pet owner.

• Additionally, we did not find any recent reports of a dog bite incident in Rohini.

Conclusion: An old video from 2022 from Thailand has gone viral as child mauled by dog in Rohini
