Video Of Sisters Catching Mobile Thief Shared With False Communal Claim

A viral video circulating on social media, which purportedly showed sisters apprehending a mobile thief, has been debunked by local authorities. The video was widely shared alongside claims suggesting a communal motive behind the crime, attempting to link the incident to specific religious groups. However, official verification from the Gwalior Police has clarified the facts of the case.

According to BOOM Live, which reached out to the Gwalior Police for comment, the individual identified in the footage is not of the religious background suggested by online rumors. Law enforcement officials have officially identified the accused as Manpreet Singh. The police confirmed that the investigation into the theft is ongoing based on the facts of the incident, rather than the speculative narrative being pushed by social media users.

This incident highlights the growing trend of misidentifying suspects in viral videos to incite communal tension. Fact-checkers and authorities continue to urge the public to verify the source and details of such clips before sharing them, as misinformation can lead to real-world social friction. The Gwalior Police have reiterated that the case is being handled as a standard criminal matter.
