“The video shows Amitabh Bachchan bringing Rahul Gandhi back from the US after he was released in a drug case.”
What FACTLY found
This viral video shows Amitabh Bachchan with Rahul Gandhi at Delhi Airport following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991. However, at the time of the assassination in Sriperumbudur, Amitabh Bachchan was visiting London, while Rahul Gandhi was in Boston, USA. Both happened to arrive at the airport around the same time. There is no evidence that Rahul Gandhi was ever arrested in a drug case in the US or any other country.
