Claim: Video showing blast of a mobile handset upon answering a call from '777888999'.
Fact-check: Digitally morphed videos shared as mobile handset blast on answering call from 777888999 - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shows a 9 digit mobile number whereas indian mobile numbers follow a 10 digit series. this proves that the mobile number is not valid. earlier abp news reported the video as a hoax. as far as the visuals of the person with mutilated face are concerned, the visuals are actually related to an incident where a person tried to kill himself by placing explosives in his mouth. hence the claim made in the post is false.
