This claim has been thoroughly investigated and found to be false
Summary of the claim: A post attributed to @RealBababanaras on X alleges a Pakistani Muslim migrant named Mohammad attempted to look under a teenage girl's skirt in England, followed by sweeping, hateful generalizations about Pakistan and Muslims, and a claim that the incident is AI-generated/ manipulated with Indian-origin sources.
What the fact-check shows: The post contains a combination of unverified allegations, misattributed identity, and broad dehumanizing stereotypes about a nationality/religion. Verified sources indicate that the claim is not substantiated, the individuals and locations have been misidentified or belong to different contexts, and there is evidence suggesting digital manipulation or miscaptioning. The circulating content appears to originate from India-linked propaganda accounts that recycle old material as if it were current in Pakistan, a known pattern for misinformation campaigns. Extensive analysis points to image/video manipulation and AI-generated content in some versions of the clip.
