The viral video originated in Maharashtra. During the first inquiry, we attentively reviewed the video footage and discovered a signboard showing a distance of 200 km to Aurangabad. It should be noted that Aurangabad is a city in the state of Maharashtra, implying that the video was most likely shot in Maharashtra. A screenshot of the signboard can be seen in the tweet.
