The New India’s Bengal SIR graphic uses a real 91% restoration figure, but its BJP strategy claim is unproven

The New India’s graphic cites a real figure: 75,443 of 82,782 West Bengal SIR appeals with recorded outcomes had resulted in inclusion/restoration, about 91%. But only a small share of the wider appeals pool had been decided, and the evidence reviewed does not establish the graphic’s allegation that voter removals and later restorations were a…

Political-protection claim in Jantar Mantar assault remains unproven; Bhardwaj later remanded to custody

Swatantra Bhardwaj publicly claimed that political connections helped him avoid jail after a June 2026 Jantar Mantar assault. Delhi Police disputed the injury severity and denied interference; he was later arrested and remanded to judicial custody through 21 September, while the self-defence and political-protection claims remain unresolved and no guilt finding has been made.

SP Media Cell turns Bhardwaj assault case into a broader BJP law-and-order claim; the wider generalisation is unproven

The Samajwadi Party Media Cell used the real Swatantra Bhardwaj assault controversy to argue that BJP-linked spaces are governed by "goons" and poor law and order. The incident supports scrutiny of political access and policing, but it does not establish a party-wide pattern; Bhardwaj was later arrested and remanded to judicial custody, while political interference…

Varanasi ₹50-crore land case tests property-registration safeguards; FIR allegations remain unproven

A court-ordered FIR alleges that a dialysis patient’s illness and family circumstances were exploited to transfer about 70 biswa of Varanasi property valued by the complainant at roughly ₹50 crore; BJP district vice-president Suresh Kumar Singh is among ten named accused and denies wrongdoing. The case raises a wider registration-safeguard question because Uttar Pradesh rules…

UP’s ₹50,000 women-aid plan was reported, not approved; later reporting still described it as a proposal

Multiple August 2026 reports said the Uttar Pradesh government was considering up to ₹50,000 in assistance for women, but the reports themselves described an unsettled proposal and no reviewed Cabinet decision or scheme rules established a guaranteed benefit. The July Instagram reel predates those reports and its exact speech could not be transcribed, so it…

Ayodhya donation probe found theft indicators and control failures; it did not prove a general case against temple giving

The 2026 Ayodhya Ram Temple donation investigation found prima facie evidence of cash theft and serious weaknesses in counting, CCTV and supervision, leading to an FIR and arrests. But the viral reel turns that specific accountability failure into a broader argument against donating to temples; the evidence supports scrutiny of donation governance, not a general…

Modi’s file-reading account documents a briefing-led work style; it does not prove incompetence or lack of education

In a 2013 interview, Narendra Modi described initially leaving a stack of sensitive Gujarat files unread, asking officials to explain the issues and relying on briefings, listening and rapid scanning. That is direct evidence about the working method he chose to describe, not evidence that he never read official records, made uninformed decisions or lacked…

Authentic police footage carried a fabricated Bhullar resignation; he remained in service

A viral reel reused authentic footage of Gurpreet Singh Bhullar with fabricated speech claiming he and other officers resigned over Satluj. The film takedown and Bhullar’s transfer were real, but no evidence connects them as the reel claims; his September posting as Border Range IGP confirms he remained in Punjab Police. The case shows how…
