FACT CHECK

When NewsMobile fact-checked the video, we found the claim to be fake.

We ran a search and found that this video went viral back in 2018 also but with a different claim and was debunked by several media outlets. According to a media report, the video is from Rajasthan.

We investigated further and found the tweet by Rajsthan Police rubbishing the claim attached to the viral video.

As per the tweet, the video is of a magic show that takes place every year during Navratri in village Khakhla, Rajasthan.

We also found a statement by Bhilwara Police clarifying that the boy is alive.

The above information proves that the video is being circulated with a false claim.
