We looked for further details about the film on YouTube, and came across a related video uploaded by a YouTube channel named Biraz And Raz on May 16, 2025. In these visuals, the woman whose video is widespread on social media is seen wearing the same clothes. It shows the preparations carried out before the shooting of the rape scene. It is clear from this that the viral video is not of the actual incident, but of a film shoot.
Hence, it is clear that many social media users falsely shared visuals from a film shoot with the false claim that the woman seen in the video was had been raped and killed in Jharkhand.
