Further, we reviewed the social media handles of Rauf TV. The same viral video was uploaded on their Facebook page. The page description clearly states that it is a digital platform that creates short emotional family-story videos, confirming that the viral clip is fictional and not a real incident.

A closer examination of the page shows that multiple short, scripted videos have been posted, and several characters seen in the viral video also appear in other videos from the same account.
