Reel links Modi birthday diyas in Patna to Bihar floods; mass lamp programme is verified, oil-waste figures are not

An Instagram reel criticises Modi birthday diyas in Patna during Bihar’s floods and says huge quantities of edible oil were wasted. The mass lamp campaign and flood context are documented, as are Modi’s calls to cut edible-oil use, but available evidence supports about 25,000 planned diyas in Patna—not “lakhs”—and does not establish the reel’s oil-volume…

Mahim Khan’s Delhi Police criticism points to an unresolved Saket assault complaint by two journalists

Mahim Khan’s reel outside Parliament Street Police Station criticises Delhi Police and cites the protest after journalists Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan alleged assault at Saket Police Station.

Divya Srivastava pressed Yogi Adityanath for answers; viral claim that she was fired remains unestablished

An Instagram post says journalist Divya Srivastava lost her job within hours of pressing Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for answers.

Reel rebuts abuse of Gandhi with his anti-colonial record; a claimed British “kill” letter remains unverified

A September 2026 Instagram reel contrasts a woman calling Gandhi a “problem” and “jahil” with a defence of his anti-colonial struggle. British archives confirm Gandhi’s detention, contemplated deportation and Churchill’s hostility, but the clip’s specific claim about an official British “kill” letter could not be verified; the reel instead documents a continuing dispute over Gandhi’s…

Travelling Mantra’s ‘100 years behind China’ claim points to a real development gap, not a measurable century

Travelling Mantra Manoj says after visiting China that India is “at least 100 years behind” and could fall further back. The century figure has no stated benchmark and is rhetorical, but World Bank data support a substantial underlying gap: China’s 2025 nominal GDP per person was about five times India’s, while India’s own human-development indicators…

A name in the Epstein files is not evidence of an Epstein relationship; viral rebuttal also overstates its case

The Technical Dost reel is right that Mahatma Gandhi died before Jeffrey Epstein was born, but that does not rule out Gandhi being mentioned in later documents. The stronger finding is evidentiary: a name hit in the vast Epstein archive can range from an incidental secondary reference to evidence of direct contact, so it cannot…

Rhetorical ‘missing’ scorecard collapses policy, accidents and allegations into one governance claim

Several subjects in the reel are real public-interest concerns, but its repeated “missing” frame turns a fire, policy choices, unresolved allegations, specific product failures and cumulative missing-person reports into one apparent governance scorecard. The evidence supports institution-by-institution scrutiny, not one proven cause or actor connecting the claims; some figures are unsupported, others are misleadingly framed,…
