Detailed Explanation

According to a 1:04 video that has gone viral on social media, iron was found mixed in the jewellery during inspections at Kalyan Jewellers in Kuwait and Dubai, leading to the closure of the business in both countries.

What’s the truth?

We used Google Reverse Image search to track down the viral video. We discovered that on November 21, 2017, a viral video called “Gold Counterfeiting” was uploaded by the Malainine Bella YouTube page. So it turns out that this video has been circulating on social media since 2017.

Further investigation revealed a post by Kalyan Jewellers on its X page dated July 24, 2025. As per the post, “Let’s say no to spreading fake news on social media. The perpetrators behind the fake news on Kalyan Jewellers were arrested in 2018. We always prioritise customers, as evidenced by our 4 Level Assurance Certificate.”

Subsequently, we found an article by The News Minute reported on March 30, 2018, under the headline “Dubai cops act on those spreading fake news on quality of Kalyan Jewellers gold”. It stated that the Dubai Public Prosecution has ordered Dubai Police to initiate criminal proceedings against five people for spreading false information about Kalyan Jewellers. It further added that this action was taken based on a complaint filed by the company and that all five accused are of Indian origin.

Conclusion:

Thus, we infer that, based on our research, the video spreading on social media has been available since 2017. According to a statement issued by Kalyan Jewellers in 2018, “five people have been arrested in connection with this incident.”
