FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be false.
Searching with relevant keywords, the NM team came to know that the boy in the video was Ghulam-e-Murtaza, who hailed from Pakistan. And Murtaza is the son of one Nadeem Abbas, who is also a singer.

We also found another video from 2019, where they had clarified that the child in the video was Ghulam-e-Murtaza.
Thus, we can conclusively say that the viral video is being shared with false claims.
