One held as TikTok star threatens suicide over fake video in Rajasthan

Jaipur: The police have arrested one person for posting fake and objectional content against dancer and TikTok star Priya Gupta. The accused identified as Shankarlal Jaat from Bytu in the Barmer district in Rajasthan.

Priya has threatened to commit suicide over a fake obscene video being circulated in her name unless it is deleted from social media and the culprit is identified and arrested. The video was posted on Monday evening and has gone viral.

The TikTok star, who is popularly known as Sona Babu in Rajasthan, has posted a video message on Facebook to clarify her stance. Where Priya said she is "not the girl in the video" and requested the police as well as the public to trace the culprit.

"Not only me, but everyone knows that I am not the girl in the video, people who know me have said that someone is trying to defame me," Priya said in her video message.

"I couldn't sleep because whoever has done this is at large and we can't identify who has done it. I do videos and dance on stage to earn daily bread for me and my family, but people took that in wrong and defamed me by making such kind of obscene video," she added.

She further stated that "Today this has happened with me, later it can happen to any other woman or girl. I request you all to find the culprit and request the police to find the person as soon as possible." Finally, she threatened dire consequences if the culprit is not identified and arrested.
