Fact Check: This Video Of PM Modi, Amit Shah Watching Guru Premanand Maharaj Is Altered

Date:

A video on social media appears to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Home Minister Amit Shah and other prominent leaders watching Hindu Guru Premanand Maharaj on a television screen. The claim accompanying the video alleges that the leaders were engaged in a meeting to watch the guru.

The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: यह विडियो को पूरा सूने व देशहित में आगे से आगे शेयर करे और महाराज श्री के मुख से निकले वचनो पर ध्यान देने आवश्यकता है जय श्री राम (English version: Listen to this video completely and share it further in the interest of the country and there is a need to pay attention to the words coming from the mouth of Maharaj Shri. Jai Shri Ram)

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.

Searching with keywords, our team located the original footage on the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) official YouTube channel, dated June 3, 2023. It shows PM Modi and other leaders convening to review the aftermath of the Balasore train accident.

A comparison of the viral video keyframes with the original footage reveals striking similarities, suggesting that the viral one has been altered.

Further analysis of the viral video shows a segment where Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat is interacting with the guru.

Additionally, a YouTube video channel — Bhajan Marg — also shows a meeting between Bhagwat and Premanand Maharaj.

Thus, we can conclusively say that the viral video showing PM Modi and other leaders watching Guru Premanand Maharaj on a screen is digitally manipulated.
