Viral video of 'bride kidnapping' lacks credibility

Despite public awareness campaigns and strict laws against the spread of misinformation, fake videos continue to circulate on social media. The latest involves a short clip claiming a landlord’s son abducting a bride on her way to her new home, sparking outrage online.

The video, circulating on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, shows a newlywed bride travelling with her groom in a decorated car. The clip depicts unarmed men intercepting the car, forcing the bride into a black SUV, and speeding away.

The post noted that the vehicle shown in the video, AAC-947, is a Cherokee registered vehicle. The Sindh Police urged anyone with credible information about the video, particularly regarding its actual location, to come forward and provide verified facts.
