Jalandhar Court Orders Removal of Fake Atishi Video
A court in Jalandhar, India, has ordered the removal of a fake video that showed a politician named Atishi making controversial remarks about a Sikh guru.
The court found that the video was edited to make it look like Atishi said things she didn't actually say.
The video was shared by some leaders from the BJP party, and the court said it could cause trouble between different groups of people.
The AAP party, which Atishi is part of, wants the BJP leaders to say they're sorry for sharing the fake video.
Meanwhile, the SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal accused Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of committing sacrilege against Sikh Gurus.
Mann appeared before the Akal Takht to clarify the allegations, stating that the video was doctored with malicious intent by his political rivals.
Jalandhar court ordered the removal of a fake video of Atishi within 24 hours.
The video was found to be doctored and could disturb communal harmony.
Forensic analysis confirmed the word 'Guru' was not spoken by Atishi in the video.
AAP demands an apology from BJP leaders Kapil Mishra and Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
Social media platforms Meta, X, and Telegram were directed to remove all related links.
