The Quint had previously debunked a claim surrounding this video in June 2025, when it was shared as one showing people celebrating Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden win in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
During verification, we came across a clearer version of the video which mentioned that the clip was shot in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
It showed shop names in Marathi, including one which read 'Malkar Sweet Mart'.
We entered the shop's name on Google Maps, and found the same store on their 'Street View' feature, confirming that the video was shot in Kolhapur's Kavlapur.
Conclusion: An old video from 2024 is being shared to falsely claim that it shows people celebrating India's recent win 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup.
