Ramakant Dubey, inspector, Bhelupur Police Station, in a report by The Hindustan Times said, “There is fear among the people. On their complaint we have lodged an FIR against unknown persons and have intensified patrolling in the area." 

The chaos started a few days ago when a video of VDA Colony located in the Badi Gabi area went viral on WhatsApp, in which a shadow was seen walking. 

In the investigation of this video of ghosts roaming in the colony, it was found that not one but three videos of ghosts have come to the fore.

Some locals said that to them, the video seemed genuine while a majority of them found it a fake video. “It seems to be a fake video but there is a lot of fear among locals, hence we decided to approach the police to investigate the matter to reveal the truth,” said Suresh Singh, a local, who hails from the colony as quoted by The Hindustan Times.

Meanwhile, the DCP has appealed to the people that no such incident has happened in Varanasi. There is a rumor about being a ghost and avoid forwarding such viral videos.
