“The viral video shows Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni being arrested in the UK.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show Dhoni being arrested. It was filmed in London on 16 July 2022, where Dhoni was simply walking on a street while fans chased him for selfies. Multiple news reports confirm he was in England for India’s ODI series and his birthday celebrations. The clip only shows fans following him, and his bodyguards guiding him by holding his hand toward the car.
