BOOM found that the video was shot while filming and does not capture any real incident in Uttar Pradesh.

A video showing shooting of a crime series where a police officer is shot is viral as a real incident from Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli district.

BOOM found that the video was shot as a behind the scenes sequence of a shooting incident. The Raebareli police also released a statement confirming that it does not depict a real incident.

The 12-second viral video shows a woman in a police uniform being shot and injured, while people around her can be seen fleeing in fear.

The Claim

The video is being shared online with a Hindi caption that translates to, "A female police officer shot dead in Raebareli".

(Original Text in Hindi: रायबरेली में एक पुलिसकर्मी महिला को गोली मार कर हत्या)

1. Behind The Scene Video Of Shooting: We broke the video into keyframes and ran a Google Lens search along with related keywords. This led us to a post by an Instagram user, Ajay Gupta, who shared the video on October 30, 2025, with the thumbnail titled "Live Shooting BTS."

We also found several other behind-the-scenes videos depicting shooting incidents on his Instagram profile.

In his bio, Gupta describes himself as a content creator who shares behind-the-scenes videos. A similar scene featuring the actors appears from the 4-minute mark in a crime thriller uploaded to a YouTube channel on September 23, 2025.
