“Video showing Telangana police helping out an elderly man sleeping on footpath with food and blanket”
What FACTLY found
This is scripted video created for the awareness. The original and lengthier version of the video was initially shared by an actress and the original video contains a disclaimer at the end saying that it is a scripted video. The disclaimer part from the original video is cropped out and the remaining part is shared as real incident. The video has nothing to do with Telangana police
