Fact Check: Viral Video Claiming Sugarcane Juice Was Mixed With Infertility Pills Is Scripted

 A video circulating on social media has triggered concern after posts claimed that a Muslim sugarcane-juice seller was secretly placing pills inside sugarcane stalks before preparing drinks for Hindu customers. Some posts alleged that the substances were intended to cause infertility and urged Hindus to avoid buying juice from Muslim-owned stalls.

However, an investigation into the viral footage found that the video was scripted. It does not provide evidence that a real juice seller added contraceptive or infertility-related medicines to drinks, or that customers were targeted because of their religion.

What Does the Viral Video Claim?

The video circulated with captions alleging that a sugarcane-juice vendor was inserting pills into sugarcane stalks before extracting the juice. Social media posts claimed that the alleged substances were intended to harm Hindu customers and affect their ability to have children.

Some users went further, using the footage to warn people against purchasing food and drinks from Muslim-owned businesses.

These are serious allegations. If a vendor deliberately contaminated food or drinks, the matter would require an investigation by the appropriate authorities. But a viral caption alone cannot establish that such an incident actually happened.

Fact Check: The Video Was Scripted

A fact-check published by Clarion India on October 25, 2026, examined the video and traced it to a Facebook account belonging to a Bangladesh-based content creator.

According to the investigation, the video had been uploaded on September 24, 2026, under the account name Rahul Vlog, using the handle @MohammadRuhulamin123456.

The fact-check found that the video itself identified the scene as scripted. Other videos on the same creator's social media accounts also featured people seen in the viral clip.

The footage was therefore produced as scripted social media content rather than documented evidence of an actual incident involving a sugarcane-juice seller.

Was Anyone Given Infertility Pills?

The investigation did not establish that any customer received sugarcane juice containing contraceptive pills or infertility-inducing substances.

It also found no reliable evidence that Hindu customers were specifically targeted.

The central allegation—that a vendor was deliberately trying to cause infertility among Hindus—was therefore unsupported by the video.

The distinction matters because sharing a scripted clip as genuine evidence can create unnecessary fear and encourage hostility towards an entire community.

Why Verification Matters Before Sharing Such Videos

Food safety is a legitimate public concern. Any allegation of deliberate food adulteration should be taken seriously and investigated using evidence, laboratory testing where appropriate, witness statements and official records.

But it is equally important not to accuse an entire religious community based on an unverified social media post.

A person's religion does not establish whether they have committed a crime. If an individual is found to have contaminated food or endangered customers, that person should face legal action based on evidence.
