Since December, the video is being circulated with yet another claim. Alt News has received several requests to fact-check the video on WhatsApp and the Alt News app<\/a> where the location is being claimed to Jaitala, Nagpur, Maharashtra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that on December 10, several media outlets including Times Now<\/em><\/a>, Republic World<\/a>, Times of India<\/a><\/em> and Mumbai Mirror<\/em><\/a> reported that a leopard attacked two stray dogs near Santacruz Electronic Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ)<\/span> in Andheri (East), Mumbai. Several individuals have linked the viral video with this news report.<\/p>\n

Where is the video from?<\/h1>\n

Alt News searched the keywords “leopard attack dog”<\/a> on Google and found that the viral video was also posted by Hindustan Times<\/em><\/a> on October 15. According to the media outlet, the incident took place in Nashik.<\/p>\n

We searched the keywords “leopard attack dog Nashik”<\/a> on Google and found a YouTube video with the title ‘Leopard attacks my dog at my house in Deolali, Nashik, Maharashtra Full coverage’<\/a> uploaded by one Dhaval Khatiwala on October 15.<\/p>\n

Khatiwala has uploaded two more videos of the same incident. The video with the title ‘Leopard attacks my dog at my house in Deolali, Nashik, Maharashtra CAM 1,’ uploaded on October 12, is one which has gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n

In the third video, ‘Leopard attacks my dog at my house in Deolali, Nashik, Maharashtra CAM 2<\/a>‘ uploaded on October 14, the car’s number plate is clearly visible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News ran number plate MH15EX4325<\/a> on VAHAN National Register e-service, a portal by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. The result confirmed that the owner of the car is indeed Dhaval Khatiwala. Thus, addressing all reasonable doubts about the authenticity of the videos uploaded by Dhaval Khatiwala on his YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
