“The video shows a real incident of a woman leaving her mother at an old age home, saying there was no place for her at home.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show a real incident of a woman abandoning her mother at an old-age home. It is a scripted video created by digital content creator Ashish Vats from Gohana, Haryana. Similar videos featuring the same elderly woman seen in the viral clip also appear in other videos uploaded on his YouTube channel, confirming that the content is staged and not a real-life event.
