How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the video and found a longer version of the same video on YouTube.
The video was uploaded by a channel named 'Karan Kotnala' on 21 December 2022.
The viral video shows a flipped version of the original video.
The original video carried a disclaimer at 0:38 timestamp which mentions that the video was made for "entertainment purposes only."
The description of the video stated the same.
