What began as viral content has now morphed into a criminal probe. Complaints poured in highlighting the video’s edits—subtle cuts and voiceovers that twist Atishi’s original speech. Punjab authorities wasted no time, filing charges that encompass cheating by personation, criminal intimidation, and IT Act violations. The move comes as Atishi navigates post-CM challenges, positioning her as a key AAP figure.

Eyewitnesses to the original event confirm the clip’s fabrication, with timestamps and metadata revealing tampering. Atishi addressed the controversy head-on, labeling it a ‘malicious deepfake’ orchestrated by BJP sympathizers. Her party echoed the sentiment, vowing legal recourse while amplifying the issue on social media.

The Punjab Police cyber wing is on high alert, employing advanced tools to dismantle the video’s layers. Preliminary findings point to a coordinated upload from multiple IP addresses, possibly routed through VPNs. DGP Gaurav Yadav stated, ‘We will unmask those behind this cyber assault, protecting democratic discourse.’

As the probe deepens, it highlights vulnerabilities in India’s digital ecosystem. Political analysts note this as part of a pattern where AI-generated fakes target opposition voices. For Atishi, it’s a rallying cry; supporters see vindication in the police action. With forensic evidence mounting, the culprits face mounting pressure. This case could redefine how India tackles election-era misinformation.

According to the report filed by Preeti Kisku, Marandi’s daughter-in-law, the incident took place around 7:15 PM when she was traveling from Giridih to Ranchi with her mother-in-law. Her driver was severely injured during the incident. Reportedly, police personnel were present at the scene, but no intervention was made.

The incident unfolded when Preeti’s vehicle got stuck in a procession during the Durga immersion near the Amrit Nagar Puja Pandal. The driver requested the crowd to clear the way, which led to an altercation. Allegedly, some individuals present assaulted the driver. When Preeti intervened, she was also subjected to verbal abuse and misbehavior.

Preeti Kisku has demanded strict action against the members of the Amrit Nagar Puja Committee from the authorities. The Hazaribag police have registered a complaint and launched an investigation. Babulal Marandi was the first Chief Minister of Jharkhand, serving from November 2000 to March 2003 after the state’s formation. He is also the founder of the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik), which he later merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party. The alleged assault on the former CM’s family raises questions about law and order in the state.

After Zubeen’s death, his family alleged that his death was not merely due to drowning and appealed to security agencies for a thorough investigation. The Assam government also initiated an inquiry, promising to bring those responsible for the death to justice. These arrests are part of the ongoing investigation.

Khan began his acting career as a child artist, with roles in films such as ‘Bade Dilwala’ and ‘Kyo Kii… Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta.’ He gained recognition for his role in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ and later appeared in ‘Rishtey’ in 2002. After a period away from the spotlight, Khan worked as an assistant director on ‘Brahmastra,’ which was released in 2022. He made his recent acting comeback in the 2024 film ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound,’ alongside Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, and Naila Grrewal.

The board subsequently ordered an FIR against Rahman Mian. The incident stems from a case in which Rahman’s son, Firoz, is implicated, with an FIR filed at the Mahila Thana, Sitamarhi. Rahman, a resident of Bhulli in the Parsauni police station area, attempted to use the forged certificate to portray his son as underage.

Following the Juvenile Justice Board’s directive, the FIR has been registered. The board determined the school transfer certificate to be fabricated. The board’s decision was based on the evidence and facts that emerged during the proceedings. A clerk filed the FIR at the Dumra police station based on the board’s order.

The recent FIR names Rahman Mian as the accused. He presented a school transfer certificate purporting to be from the middle school of Parsauni block to establish his son’s minority. However, the headmaster of the middle school testified before the board, revealing the truth. The headmaster clarified that Firoz was never enrolled in their school and that the certificate presented by Firoz’s father was entirely fabricated and not issued by the school.

The court stated that the case against the 19-year-old student cannot be closed solely because she deleted her social media post and apologized. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Chandrasekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad, stated that the FIR cannot be quashed simply because the accused is a bright student who has achieved good marks in examinations.
