An August 2026 reel claims the Modi government and RSS raised sugar prices to punish Muslims. Prices really rose, but no evidence substantiates that communal motive; official records instead point to reduced production, crop damage, hoarding and supply pressures.
No comments on Sugar-price rise blamed on anti-Muslim plot in viral reel; evidence points to hoarding and supply pressures
A May 7 Instagram reel presented a Champawat gang-rape allegation involving BJP leader Puran Singh Rawat as fact. Subsequent police findings disputed the allegation and described a separate alleged conspiracy; political opponents contested that conclusion.

An Instagram post says journalist Divya Srivastava lost her job within hours of pressing Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for answers. The recorded exchange is real and Srivastava later alleged harassment, but contemporaneous reporting says she denied the viral firing claim; available evidence does not establish that she was dismissed or that any employment…

In a July 2026 reel, educator Neetu Singh tells students that Gandhi’s resistance to British rule required courage and rebukes “WhatsApp University” learning. Archival records support the reality of colonial repression and Gandhi’s arrests, but her statement that people then had “no rights” is an over-broad contrast with today’s constitutional fundamental-rights framework; the clip also…
A viral excerpt is authentic, but the full 20 September 2025 NDTV interview shows Rekha Gupta was sarcastically rejecting an EVM-hacking allegation, not admitting that the BJP or ABVP manipulated voting machines. The case demonstrates a specific misinformation mechanism: a genuine political clip can become substantively false when its immediate continuation is removed; it does…

The 2G record is not resolved by a single “scam” or “no scam” verdict. The 2017 criminal acquittals remain operative, while the Supreme Court separately held the 2008 licence-allocation process illegal and quashed it; the ₹1.76-lakh-crore figure was a presumptive audit estimate, not proven stolen cash. Keeping those findings distinct is essential to understanding what…

Police action during the 10 August 2026 Ranchi student march was real, but BJP Rajasthan’s 11 August reel used footage from a 22 July protest in Patna and presented it as Jharkhand. Other unrelated clips were also attached to the agitation, showing a broader recycled-video problem; the evidence does not establish a coordinated campaign or…
In ANI's 16 April 2014 interview, Narendra Modi said that if allegations against him over the 2002 Gujarat riots were proven he should face exemplary punishment rather than be forgiven through apology; earlier in the same interview he separately proposed fast-track courts for criminal cases against MPs and MLAs. A 2026 reel merges those exchanges…

Saayoni Ghosh did leave the TMC camp and align with the BJP-led NDA, but the evidence identifies her as joining the NCPI bloc rather than formally becoming a BJP member. That distinction later became part of a Lok Sabha/Supreme Court anti-defection dispute, while the reel also overstates a separate 2015 Shivling controversy by treating disputed…
