Three sisters from Uttar Pradesh's Amroha have admitted before the Child Welfare Committee that their viral marriage to the same cameraman was a prank to gain followers. After four hours of questioning, the CWC accepted their statements and sent them home. The case gained attention after the staged wedding video sparked controversy and concerns over one sister's age.
Three sisters from Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district have admitted that their widely circulated marriage to the same cameraman was staged as a social media prank to gain followers. The sisters appeared before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on Monday, where they said the wedding was never real and acknowledged that they had made a mistake by continuing the prank even after it went viral.
The case drew widespread attention after a video uploaded on July 17 appeared to show the three women marrying the same man. The footage sparked online debate and prompted a police inquiry, while concerns over the age of one of the sisters led the CWC to issue notices and seek clarification.┬аWhy Did 3 Sisters in Uttar Pradesh's Amroha Marry Their Social Media Cameraman?

The sisters, identified as 20-year-old Saroj, 19-year-old Savitri Rani, and 18-year-old Santosh,┬а appeared before the Child Welfare Committee along with their parents, brother and cameraman Vikas alias Vikku. After nearly four hours of questioning and document verification, the committee accepted their statements and allowed them to return home.
The sisters told the committee they had staged the marriage solely to increase their social media following. According to the CWC, they admitted they should have clarified the truth much earlier instead of allowing the prank to continue.┬аAmroha: Drunk Police Constable Hits 2 Pedestrians in Joya, Drives Car Without Tire; Video Surfaces.
Cameraman Featured in Viral Video
Saroj and Devika, residents of Dhauria village in Hasanpur Kotwali area, regularly create content for Instagram and Facebook with their cousin Santosh. Their cameraman, Vikas alias Vikku from Shyampuri village, frequently assists with filming their videos.
On July 17, the group uploaded a video showing Vikas marrying all three sisters, triggering widespread discussion online. Following the video's popularity, the sisters continued posting content suggesting the marriage was genuine. They also reportedly told police during questioning that they intended to live together, reinforcing the impression that the marriage was real.
As the controversy grew, the sisters' social media following increased significantly. Devika said their Instagram account had around 4.5 lakh followers before the prank and had since crossed 5 lakh followers. She added that although they had recently started posting on YouTube and had around 11,000 subscribers there, they were not earning money from the platforms.
"We started working on YouTube only a few days ago. We have 11 thousand followers there. On Instagram, before the prank, we had 4.5 lakh followers, which has now increased to 5 lakh. We don't earn anything from this yet. We admit our mistake that we should not have run such a long wedding prank."
Sisters Apologise for the Prank
Speaking after appearing before the committee, Saroj said the idea was inspired by prank videos commonly seen on social media. "People used to make prank videos on social media. We thought we would do a wedding prank. On July 17, we shot a wedding video. Before that, we had shot another video as proof. So that we could later prove that we had done a prank. We didn't know that our wedding video would go so viral and we would get caught. We shouldn't have run such a long prank. We made a mistake, so 'sorry' for that."
The sisters also acknowledged that they falsely maintained the marriage was genuine after facing trolling online.
The matter took a more serious turn after a high school marksheet surfaced showing Santosh alias Chhavi's date of birth as 2011, raising concerns that she could be a minor. Following the revelation, the Child Welfare Committee issued a notice on July 24 and summoned those involved.
CWC Chairman Atulesh Bhardwaj said the committee concluded its inquiry after recording the statements and reviewing the submitted documents. "The girls stated in their statements that they did not get married. They only made a prank video. The video was only to increase their followers. After submitting the documents, they were sent home."
The sisters operate an Instagram account named "Rajput Girl", where they have shared hundreds of videos featuring comedy and lifestyle content. Before the wedding prank, the account primarily featured humorous reels that attracted millions of views.
Since posting the wedding video, they have uploaded several more videos related to the incident, collectively attracting tens of millions of views and significantly increasing public attention on their social media profiles.
