The little boy is on board his school bus, which got stuck in a traffic snarl caused by protests against the Agnipath army recruitment scheme in Bihar.
A group of school children can be seen inside the bus and the video shows a woman, probably a teacher or a parent, assuring the children that they will not be harmed.
The veracity of the video could not be ascertained although widespread violence during the protests, which has entered the third day, may have evoked fear in the minds of the people.
