  • A CCTV video showing two men robbing a couple of their jewellery after drugging them with smoke is viral with the communal claim that Muslims have come up with a new way of robbing people. BOOM found that a Telangana-based channel made the scripted video and it does not show an actual robbery being captured on CCTV camera.

After the woman goes to get the jewellery, the man can be seen speaking to someone on the phone. After some time, a man dressed in a religious attire approach the house and blesses them with smoke. A few seconds later, the couple becomes unconscious and fall to the floor. The other man then robs the couple off all their jewellery and flees. An archive of the tweet can be accessed here.

The same message was sent to BOOM's helpline number for verification. Fact Check The date in the viral CCTV footage was 10-11-2021. Taking this as a cue, we searched for the video on Facebook with keywords "gold jewellery thief" and added the filter to show videos uploaded in the last week. We found that a Facebook channel called "Rock on media" first uploaded the video on November 10. The caption of the video states that the video is scripted and is meant only for educational purposes. "Thank you for watching! Please be aware that this page features scripted dramas and parodies as well. These short films are for entertainment & educational purposes only!"

During this video making we have taken real incidents and picturized to educate public. Characters in this video are entertainment and education purpose only. "We Can Learn from the experience of others"" We contacted the admin of Facebook page who told us that all the videos they make are for "entertainment and educational purposes only". BOOM also called the number listed on the Facebook page but is yet to receive a response. BOOM had earlier debunked a similar educational video made by Rock on media which was viral with the false claim that a Muslim man laced a woman's drink with a drug only for an alert staffer to foil the man's plan.
