What FACTLY found

This is an old video from 2017 that shows a brawl between the panelists on a show by News Nation. This debate did not feature Dr Devi Shetty. Also, the bit in the viral video where Dr. Shetty allegedly explains the attack and further talks about a drug created by Natural herbs is also fake; it is created by adding a fake voiceover on Dr. Shetty’s interview that he gave to ‘NDTV.’

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
