However, upon investigation, we discovered that the claim was false. The viral video doesn’t show Harish Rana. Here’s the fact check.
Fact Check
We started our investigation by taking screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to a Facebook page “Sarita Raghav” where the viral video was uploaded on January 22, 2026.
The hashtags used are, “#myhusband” and “#mylove”
Upon reviewing the profile, we learned that the video features a content creator and her husband.
We found a video on this profile refuting the viral claim. The woman said that the viral video features her husband, not Harish Rana. She further added that her husband is recovering.
This makes it clear that the viral video doesn’t show Harish Rana.
Conclusion
From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The viral video doesn’t show Harish Rana, the first-ever person granted passive euthanasia in India. The video features a content creator Sarita and her husband.
