Chandigarh: The Bhagwant Mann Fake Video controversy has taken a fresh turn. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that two government-recognized forensic laboratories found that the person in the viral video is not Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
During a press conference, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema and AAP Punjab Media In-charge Baltej Pannu made the claim. They alleged that political rivals spread the video to defame the Chief Minister. They also claimed the campaign aimed to hurt religious sentiments and disturb social harmony in Punjab.
AAP Cites Forensic Examination
According to AAP, forensic experts examined 1,191 frames of the viral video.
Moreover, experts reportedly compared facial structure, eyes, height, body build, posture, side profile, and facial expressions.
Based on the analysis, AAP claimed that the individual in the video did not match Bhagwant Mann.
Cheema Alleges Political Motive

According to the party, the experts found differences in height, shoulder structure, body frame, posture, and facial features.
