Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta dropped a bombshell Thursday by tabling the official FSL report that exonerates a viral video featuring AAP’s Atishi from any molestation charges. ‘Absolutely no fiddling or harassment detected,’ Gupta announced, effectively dismantling the opposition’s long-standing narrative.
What began as a minor clip from an AAP rally escalated into a full-blown scandal. Claims flew thick and fast, with fingers pointed at political rivals. But the forensic deep dive paints a different picture: pristine footage, unaltered and genuine.
Gupta didn’t mince words during his media briefing. ‘This report exposes the lies peddled for political mileage,’ he said, waving the document. The analysis scrutinized every frame, from audio sync to pixel integrity, finding zero anomalies.
Reactions poured in swiftly. BJP supporters hailed it as vindication, while AAP’s camp appeared blindsided. ‘We’ve always known the truth,’ an AAP spokesperson later claimed, pivoting to attack the BJP’s ‘witch-hunt.’
This development underscores the perils of viral misinformation in Indian politics. Forensic verification is now non-negotiable, experts say, especially with AI tools making fakes indistinguishable.
As the dust settles, eyes are on Atishi’s next move. Will she pursue legal action against accusers? Gupta wrapped up by calling for accountability: ‘False allegations erode democracy.’ The report’s transparency could restore some faith in institutional probes amid election fervor.
