When the BBC asked Vikram Mishra, the channel's owner, if he was aware that his videos were perceived as real, he replied: "We all want to become a hit. I make videos that do well according to the trends of society."

He said the videos are created only for "entertainment and views, as our team of 12 people earn their livelihood from our YouTube channel".

His innocence on the impact of the videos his channel creates is such an obvious lie. People get beaten to death, get burnt alive, communities are economically boycott, their homes and livelihood destroyed due to the distruct, fear, and hate created by such videos, all enabled by the state.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The message accompanying the clip warns in Hindi that people should “be aware” of criminals using the burka - a veil used by Muslim women around the world - to disguise themselves and “kidnap children”.

India has witnessed growing tension among religious communities, particularly between Hindus and Muslims, since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in May 2014.

This could have real-life consequences - over the past few years, authorities in many Indian states have had to issue warnings against fake news after several people were attacked by mobs believing them to be kidnappers.

According to a fact-check by Alt News, the original clip of the man wearing a burka - which was later deleted by its creator - actually had a disclaimer stating it was “a work of fiction”.

One such video, which went viral in December 2021, was shared alongside claims without evidence in multiple languages that Muslim men were trying to intoxicate Hindu girls by spiking their food.

Ruby Dhingra, managing editor of India-based multilingual fact-check media Newschecker, said viewers should be wary of camera angles, locations, reactions and the language used in the video.
