A video depicting a girl’s partner laughing at her torn skirt, while a farmer helping by offering his lungi at a city bus stop, has been circulated on social media platforms. Users have shared the video as a real incident. However, D-Intent Data has found that the video is scripted and has nothing to do with reality.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter) @_x__Xx_Yogi4SM_ wrote, “A girl with her best friend. They both sit somewhere. The girl’s frock gets torn by something. What happened after that, you see! And tell me who is merely literate? And who is fully educated? A college-going youth or the simple farmer who protected the girl’s dignity?” (Translated from Hindi).
Another account @RandomRajasthan has also shared the video and wrote. A poor man can even auction his honour for the honour of a woman.
