-- Spokesman's Investigation
Starting the investigation, we first watched this video carefully. We found that CWE banners can be seen in the video. It is clear from this that this wrestling match took place in the ring of CWE.
CWE is the wrestling company of former WWE wrestler Great Khali. CWE's head office and training ring is located in Jalandhar, Punjab.
Keeping this information in mind, we started looking for the original video with keyword search. We found the original video uploaded on CWE's official Youtube channel. This video was uploaded on 13th June 2016 and the video was captioned, "KAVITA accepted the open challenge of BB Bull Bull".
Hence, it is clear that this video is old and the wrestlers seen in the video are BB Bulbul and Kavita.
Our journalist in the past contacted BB Bulbul regarding this claim. Talking to the journalist, he denied the viral claim and said, “This video is not recent and Kavita Devi is fighting with me in this video. I am not Pakistani but Indian. The claim going viral is fake.”
Bulbul's real name is Sarabjit Kaur.
Conclusion- Spokesman in it's investigation found the viral post to be misleading. Both the women wrestlers seen in the video are Indians. The female wrestler who is being described as Pakistani, her real name is Sarabjit Kaur and her ring name is Bibi Bulbul.
