We found the viral video on this channel in the form of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/nf31oOjgH7U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube short<\/a>.

On July 31, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Edc_MF6YLSU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> was published by the channel that featured the same people as seen in the viral video. Before this &#8216;movie&#8217; begins, a poster with the name of the short film and the name of the actors and crew members involved is shown. Following this a text appears on the screen in Hindi that says, &#8220;This story is inspired by true events&#8221;. It then further displays the name of the production house, actors, story writer, DoP and director\/producer.<\/p>\n<p>The description box for the YouTube video also has the names of the actors and the crew members and a text in Hindi that can be translated as: &#8220;Delhi Sakshi murder: How 16-year-old Sakshi was killed after being stabbed with a knife and hit with a rock in Delhi&#8217;s Shahbad Dairy area: Through this video, we are trying to spread the message that the parents should try to be close to their kids so that they feel free to share everything with them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>All our above findings prove that this video isn&#8217;t of a real incident of police brutality but a scripted short film performed by professional actors.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-162748 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/scripted-video-police-brutality-shown-in-youtube-shorts-viral-as-real-incident\/screenshot-2023-08-07-162655\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-162655.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-162655.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-162655-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-162655-768x522.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/scripted-video-police-brutality-shown-in-youtube-shorts-viral-as-real-incident\/screenshot-2023-08-07-163611\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-163611.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-163611.png 781w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-163611-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-07-163611-768x286.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>We also came across the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063863477927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook profile<\/a> of the director\/producer of the short film, Vipin Pandey.
