Overview
- Jalandhar Police registered an FIR at the Cyber Cell on a complaint alleging an edited, doctored clip of Delhi Assembly remarks by Atishi was uploaded and circulated on social media.
- A Punjab FSL report dated January 9 states the examined clip was manipulated and that Atishi did not utter the word “Guru,” with the source link downloaded from Kapil Mishra’s X account.
- Delhi Speaker Vijender Gupta called the Punjab case a breach of Assembly privilege, issued notices to three senior Punjab Police officers, and sought documents and explanations within 48 hours.
- The Delhi Assembly has also sent the relevant recording to the Delhi State Forensic Science Laboratory for examination, with a report expected within 15 days.
- Reports differ on who is named in police actions, with some outlets saying Mishra was booked while official statements cite unidentified accused, and Punjab Congress leaders say they were also named for sharing the clip.
