“The video shows a TV9 Bharatvarsh news report stating that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sent a letter advising Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to visit Assam.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is edited. The original TV9 Bharatvarsh video is unrelated to the Assam elections and reports on a lottery winner in the UAE. The viral clip includes externally added graphics and manipulated deepfake audio. TV9 Bharatvarsh also clarified in an X post that the video is AI-altered and that no such report was aired on the channel.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
