A video is doing the rounds on social media claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that every Aadhaar card holder will receive a free Hero Splendor bike — as long as no one in the family has a government job.
PM Modi can be heard saying: “आधार कार्ड पर आपको एक Splendor बाइक फ्री दी जाएगी लेकिन ध्यान रखना पूरे परिवार में कोई भी सरकारी नौकरी में नहीं होना चाहिए। जी हाँ आधार कार्ड वालों की बल्ले-बल्ले। हीरो कंपनी दे रही है फ्री में स्प्लेंडर बाइक। अभी लेने के लिए रील लाइक करके कमेंट में अपना नाम बता दो और फिर गूगल में माय ताऊ को सर्च करके इस वेबसाइट पर यहां सर्च में बाइक लिखकर इस पोस्ट में नीचे यहां अपनी जानकारी डाल दो। बाइक ऑफर एक्टिव हो जाएगा।”
(English translation: “You will be given a Splendor bike for free on the basis of your Aadhar card, but keep in mind that no one in the entire family should be in a government job. Yes, those with Aadhar card are in luck. Hero company is giving away a Splendor bike for free. To get it now, like the reel and mention your name in the comments.

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral claim and found it to be completely fake and part of an online scam.
A keyword search revealed no government announcement, scheme, or press release related to free bikes for Aadhaar holders. A scheme of this scale would have received major media coverage, which it hasn’t. The official government welfare website also lists no such offer.
A closer review of the viral clip clearly indicates AI manipulation: Mismatched lip movements, Synthetic, unnatural voice tone, Smooth and distorted facial movements.
We ran the video through Hive Moderation’s AI-detection tool, which further confirmed that the footage is digitally altered.
The viral video claiming PM Modi announced free Splendor bikes for Aadhaar card holders is a deepfake. This is a scam attempt designed to mislead users and collect personal information.
