A clip featuring a railway employee reportedly taking a bribe and misbehaving with a girl on a train is circulating on social media.
In the video, a man, seemingly a ticket collector, was seen accepting money from a girl on a train while grabbing her hand inappropriately.
What we found: At first, we looked up news reports if such an incident had happened in India, recently. However, we did not find any reports suggesting that the claim could be true.
Team WebQoof, then, divided the video into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them.
The results led us to an Instagram page of 'official raj thakur.' The post featured the same clip as the viral video.
It's caption read, "Did this to the girl when she didn't have a ticket." However, we, then noticed a disclaimer or note of sorts at the bottom which read:
"This Video Is Totally Scripted Not Real All Content Just For Entertainment Purpose And Awareness Not Hate Speech (sic)."
We went through the creator's profile and found similar videos like the viral clip which showed some kind of awareness message.
The creator of this page, Raj Thakur, also uploaded a video of himself stating that all the videos on his profile were 'scripted,' when another one of his skits went viral and did not include the full context.
