A video of a murder confession is going viral on social media. In this disturbing viral video, a woman soaked in blood can be seen lying on the bed while the man who is shooting the video confesses that he killed her. He can heard saying, "Do not cheat...this is the result of infidelity". Giving this video a communal spin, several people on social media claimed that the man in the viral video belongs to the Muslim community and he killed a Hindu girl in the name of infidelity.

A Facebook user shared this video and wrote a caption in Hindi which reads, "वो यही लड़की है जो कहती थी मेरा अदबुल ऐसा नहीं😡 हैजबलपुर मेखला रिजोट युवती का गला रेतने वाले जिहादी युवक का वीडियो हो रहा है वायरल , युवती का गला रेतकर बोला बेबफाई नहीं करने का।ये सबक उन हिंदू लड़कियों के लिए जो जिहादियों पर और उनकी मीठी बातों में आकर अपने समाज से दूर चली जाती है । और जितना हो सके इस जिहादी कौम से दूर रहे."

[English Translation: She is the same girl who used to say that my adbul is not like this. Video of Jihadi youth slitting throat of Hajbalpur Mekhla Resort girl is going viral. By slitting the girl's throat, he said not to commit infidelity. This lesson is for those Hindu girls who ran away from their society after caught in these Jihadis sweet talks. And stay away from this jihadi community as much as possible.]
