“A video showing Modi’s visit to the Kashi Vishwanath temple with Yogi Adityanath’s face blurred.”
What FACTLY found
The media agency responsible for reporting the viral video blurred the logo of the agency from which the video was sourced. However, inadvertently, in a few frames, the blurred section overlapped with Yogi’s face. This led to a misunderstanding, as it appeared that Yogi’s face was intentionally blurred. In the original video, Yogi Adityanath’s face was not blurred.
