Recently, a government school principal and a female teacher were suspended in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh district after a video of them engaging in sexual acts went viral.
Now, another CCTV video featuring a man and a girl in an office has now gone viral on social media. It shows the man playfully hugging the girl, patting her forehead, and kissing her cheeks.
Those sharing the video claimed it was from a Kendriya Vidyalaya in India, and demanded that appropriate action be taken against both. The archive of one such post can be seen here.
However, India Today Fact Check found that the video in question is not from India at all but from Brazil. The man in the video confirmed that it was not leaked footage but a video he made with his daughter that was being shared with inappropriate claims.
OUR PROBE
We noticed that an X user @Edinho_Neves responded to a viral post featuring the video saying that it showed him with his 12-year-old daughter. In the post, he also requested the person who shared the video to remove the inappropriate caption. This account @Edinho_Neves belongs to a person named Eder Neves who lives in Brazil.
We then found that Eder had posted a longer version of the viral video on his Instagram account on December 13, 2024. Alongside the video, he wrote, “Relax, everyone! That adorable girl in the video is my DAUGHTER! Just a playful dad sharing kisses, hugs, and a gentle fall (totally safe, I promise). Pure LOVE and fun between father and daughter!” Its archive can be seen here.
We contacted Eder through Instagram who confirmed to India Today Fact Check that the video shows him and her daughter.
Thus, it’s clear that a video from Brazil is being falsely shared as intimate moments of a man and a woman in an Indian school.
