“The video shows Union Minister Chirag Paswan being arrested for tampering with EVMs during the 2025 Bihar elections.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show Union Minister Chirag Paswan being arrested for tampering with EVMs during the 2025 Bihar elections. There are no credible media reports of Paswan being arrested in connection with any 2025 election-related misconduct. The video is from 15 February 2022, when he was detained in Patna during a protest march against Bihar government over unemployment and law-and-order issues.
