image. According to one of the requests, the incident took place in Uttar Pradesh. The message said that 65-year-old Rambabu married his daughter to save his family&#8217;s honour because young boys in the neighborhood were eyeing her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-47-1015x1024.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fact Check<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A reverse image search of the viral photos led us to a video from a Facebook page named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vikassingh3105\">Vikas Singh<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/v\/16879RhJzT\/\">October 26, 2024<\/a>. The photos are screengrabs taken from this video. We watched the full seven-minute long video<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, in which the girl pretends to marry the old man to help him reclaim his own house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We found several clues that indicate this is not a real incident but a scripted video.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For one, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vikassingh3105\">Facebook page<\/a> describes Vikas Singh as a digital creator who makes scripted videos in which he features too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-45-1024x646.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secondly, the page had uploaded several similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/1035950840821822\">scripted videos<\/a> in which the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/707531534863299\"> same actors<\/a> seen in the viral image were also featured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We found several such scripted videos on Vikas Singh&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/singhvks2023\/\">Instagram page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Vikassingh3105\/shorts\">YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-46-922x1024.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lastly, Alt News also managed to reach out to Vikas Singh to get clarity on the viral photos and claims. He rubbished the viral claims and confirmed that the video was scripted and made by him. He also identified the woman in the video and the viral images as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gurpreet9899kaur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gurpreet Kaur,<\/a> adding that she and her family were quite upset with the false claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singh also told Alt News that the old man in the viral images and video was Amar, who was no longer alive. He passed away recently. He also shared a picture of the old man&#8217;s death and the link to the scripted video. On July 6, 2025, he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vikassingh3105\/posts\/pfbid0HY8afkPW9vTS9sdx3ApWJcqAkD5wmjLxDd3hrdER8WUUWUyNEKMzPDb6FFUQm1Q4l?rdid=3iPku1H0o2vb2TvW#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted<\/a> about this on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singh also clarified the rumours in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DL7pIyYTT3C\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">an Instagram post<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To sum up, the viral pictures circulating on social media are actually screenshots from a scripted video made by a digital content creator; they do not depict a real incident. Social media claims that this &#8220;shocking incident&#8221; is from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh or Chhattisgarh are baseless.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A set of photographs of an elderly man and a young woman dressed in wedding attire and wearing garlands is viral on social media.
