CDS Chauhan Denies Claims of Army Being Used for Bihar Elections
Someone made a fake video that looks like a top military leader, CDS Anil Chauhan, talking.
The fake video says he claimed that a political party, the BJP, would lose an election in Bihar because they supposedly used the army to help them win.
However, this video is not real.
It's been changed to make it seem like he said this, but he never actually said it.
Military leaders and the army are supposed to stay out of politics.
A video circulating on social media falsely claims CDS Anil Chauhan stated the BJP would lose the Bihar elections due to using the Indian Army.
The alleged statement suggests the BJP's use of the army for electoral gain would lead to their defeat.
This video has been debunked as an altered clip that does not contain actual statements made by CDS Chauhan.
The misinformation emerged after the voting for the Bihar elections concluded on November 11.
CDS Chauhan has not made any such claims, and the military is expected to remain apolitical.
