- Jalandhar Police filed an FIR after a Punjab Police forensic examination concluded the circulating clip was edited and that Atishi did not utter the word “Guru.”
- Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta ordered an independent forensic review of the House recording and the Secretariat issued 48-hour notices to senior Punjab Police officers over the FIR.
- Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva reposted the video, called it authentic, and challenged AAP to file FIRs, while party leaders argued Punjab Police had no authority to act on Assembly material.
