Yogi misattributed Bose’s slogan to Vivekananda; a correct clip was later used to deny the slip

Full footage from Yogi Adityanath’s 20 April 2026 Joypur rally confirms that he first attributed “Tum mujhe khoon do…” to Swami Vivekananda and then referred to it as Netaji’s slogan. BJP later used a correct-attribution clip to call the controversy fake, but source comparison shows that did not erase the real Joypur slip; the episode…

Gujarat’s 2026 CAG audit documents a serious custody-and-disposal gap in seized narcotics, while the 2021 Mundra case documents a separate 2,988 kg heroin seizure from Afghanistan via Iran.

AI-doctored protest videos reused authentic official footage; Sumit Jha resignation clip was false

The viral Sumit Jha clip reused genuine Delhi Police footage but replaced its audio to make him appear to resign and accuse the government of framing student protesters. A separate doctored Piyush Goyal video circulated during the same protest cycle, establishing recurrence of this manipulation method but not common authorship or coordination. Source-video matches, official…
