FACT CHECK
NewsMobile conducted a thorough investigation, and found it to be AI-manipulated.
A closer inspection of the video revealed clear inconsistencies. The audio does not align seamlessly with Dr Trehan’s lip movements, indicating the possibility of manipulation.
Running the viral clip keyframes through Reverse Image Search, the NM team traced the original footage to a video uploaded on the official YouTube channel of the Vattikuti Foundation, dated February 13, 2023.
In the original video, Dr Trehan discusses advancements in robotic surgery. At no point does he mention remedies for high blood pressure, confirming that the viral clip is fabricated.

A detailed comparison of the visuals from both videos reveals identical footage. However, the content of the original video bears no reference to high blood pressure remedies, reinforcing that the viral video has been digitally altered.
To further validate the claim, we used TrueMedia’s deepfake detection tool. The analysis confirmed significant AI-driven modifications to Dr Trehan’s facial features. Additionally, the tool identified the audio as entirely AI-generated. [Detailed analysis can be seen here]
So in conclusion, we can say that the viral video of Dr Naresh Trehan suggesting remedies for high blood pressure is digitally altered.
