A further keyword search on this incident led us to a news report published by the Times of India on 3 May 2021stating that the incident took place in Ravi Park Society on Vavdi Road in Morbi. The victim was identified as Tulsi Nepali who has killed her daughters before committing suicide. According to the report, she had taken this drastic step because she suspected her husband, Vishnu of having an extra marital affair. On 2 May 2020, Vishnu who was gym instructor went up to the terrace for a workout who then returned to his family hanging from the ceiling. 

Fact Crescendo contacted S.R Odedra, SP of Morbi who confirmed to us that the video is more than a year old and had taken place near Vavdi in Morbi. This was a suicide incident. It has no relation with any kind of violent act done due to communal hatred. 

We found that the verified channel of ABP Asmita had also reported this incident in May 2020.

Conclusion- 

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the video to be False. The viral video in circulation has no relation with the current unrest in Afghanistan. The video does not show the Taliban murdering Christians who supported the previous government. The original incident is from Gujarat in India where a mother had committed suicide after killing her daughters.
