A video of a boy and two girls standing in an alleyway has gone viral on social media. In the video, the boy can be seen hugging the girls while the cameraperson who seemingly records the incident from his balcony, can be heard passing several comments in the background. Towards the end of the video, a young man beside the cameraperson throws water on them and chases them away. At 1:31 of the video, they mention that these sights were common in Delhi.<\/p>\n

A communal spin was added to this video with the claim that the boy in the video was a Muslim who was committing “Love Jihad<\/a>” by duping the Hindu girls using a Hindu name. (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The page named Ankit Jatuskran<\/a> contains several live videos that feature<\/a> the same man who is seen in the viral video. From this page, we were led to another Facebook page called, Ankur Jatuskran<\/a> which is mentioned as a co-creator in one of the videos on the page. This page also features<\/a> the same man. The description of the page reads, “This page is all about my prank videos on my YouTube channel.” The YouTube page also contains the scripted videos that are on the Facebook pages.<\/p>\n
