Executive Summary
A video showing a woman giving a facial massage to an elderly man with a white beard is going viral on social media, with users claiming that the man is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Some posts describe it as a “leaked massage video” of the Prime Minister, while others sarcastically link it to the glow on his face. However, research by the CyberPeace Research Wing found that the claim is false. The viral video has no connection to Narendra Modi and is being shared with a misleading narrative.
Claim
An X user named Sonu Singh shared the video with the caption: “Narendra Modi video leaked.”
To verify the claim, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and conducted a reverse image search. This led us to the same video uploaded on April 12, 2026, on the Instagram and Facebook pages of content creator Pradeep Kaur Dhillon, where it was captioned “Massage time.”
Further checks revealed another similar video posted on March 28, 2026, on the same social media accounts, with the caption: “Stylish, Spa day for him… kyunki self-care sirf ladies layi nahi.”
During the research, we also found that the man seen in the video is Jaspal Singh, Dhillon’s partner, who frequently appears in her social media posts. According to publicly available profile details, the duo resides in New Jersey, USA, and originally belongs to Amritsar, Punjab, India.
The viral claim is false. The video does not show Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It features content creators Pradeep Kaur Dhillon and Jaspal Singh and is being circulated online with a false and misleading claim.
A video claiming to show the plane crash that allegedly killed Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has been widely circulated on social media. The circulation began soon after reports emerged of a tragic aircraft accident in Baramati, Maharashtra, on January 28, 2026, in which Ajit Pawar and five others were reported to have died. The viral video shows a plane crashing to the ground moments after take-off. Social media users have claimed that the footage captures the exact incident in which Ajit Pawar was on board. However, an research by the CyberPeacehas found that this claim is false.
Claim:
An Instagram user shared the video on January 28, 2026, claiming that it showed the plane crash in Maharashtra in which Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and others allegedly lost their lives. The caption accompanying the video read:“This morning, Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and six others tragically died in a plane crash in Maharashtra.”

To verify the authenticity of the viral video, the CyberPeaceconducted a reverse image search of its keyframes. During this process, the same visuals were found in a video report uploaded on News9 Live’s official YouTube channel on October 23, 2025.
According to the report, the footage shows a plane crash in Venezuela, not India. The incident occurred shortly after a Piper Cheyenne aircraft took off from Paramillo Airport in Táchira, Venezuela. The aircraft crashed within seconds of take-off, killing both occupants on board. The deceased were identified as pilot José Bortone and co-pilot Juan Maldonado. Further confirmation came from a report published on October 22, 2025, by Latin American news outlet El Tiempo. The Spanish-language report also featured the same video visuals and stated that a small aircraft lost control and crashed on the runway at Paramillo Airport in Venezuela, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and co-pilot.
Conclusion
The CyberPeace’s research clearly establishes that the viral video being shared as footage of Ajit Pawar’s alleged plane crash in Baramati is misleading. The video actually shows a plane crash that occurred in Venezuela in October 2025 and has been falsely linked to a tragic claim in India.
A video purportedly showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivering a politically charged warning during a public address has been widely circulated on social media. The clip is being shared with claims that the Prime Minister spoke about the “saffronisation” of the Indian Army and issued a stern message to Bangladesh by invoking India’s role in the 1971 war.
A detailed verification by the CyberPeace Foundation found these claims to be misleading. The investigation revealed that the viral video has been digitally altered, and the statements attributed to the Prime Minister do not appear in the original speech. The misleading narrative appears to have been created by inserting manipulated audio into authentic video footage.
Claim
An X user, “@Pakpulse247,” shared a video on December 26 claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public gathering, made remarks about the “saffronisation” of the Indian Army and issued a warning to Bangladesh by invoking India’s role in the 1971 war.
The post’s caption alleged that the Prime Minister made these statements during the inauguration of the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow, suggesting that Bangladesh should not expect support from Pakistan in the event of an Indian offensive and should remember India’s contribution during the 1971 conflict.
The link to the post is provided below, along with a screenshot of the viral claim.
During the verification process, the Desk carried out a targeted keyword search and located the complete, original version of the video on the official YouTube channel of the Bharatiya Janata Party, uploaded on December 26, 2025. The video description confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing the gathering at the inauguration of the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow.
A comparison of the visuals showed that the venue, backdrop, and the Prime Minister’s attire were identical to those seen in the viral clip circulating on social media. However, after carefully reviewing the full speech, the Desk found no reference to Pakistan, Bangladesh, or the claims being attributed to him in the viral post.
The link to the original video is provided below, along with a relevant screenshot.
Upon further examination of the search results, the Desk located the official English transcript of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on the PM India website. A thorough review of the complete transcript revealed no mention of the statements attributed to him in the viral social media post.
The link to the official transcription is provided below.
On further examination of the search results, the Desk accessed the official English transcript of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech published on the PM India website. A careful review of the complete transcript confirmed that none of the claims made in the viral social media post appear in the official record.
The link to the transcription is provided below.
Building on these findings, the Desk extracted the audio track from the viral video and analysed it using Resemble AI, an audio-detection tool. The analysis flagged the audio as fake, indicating that it had been digitally manipulated.
Conclusion
The CyberPeace Foundation’s research clearly establishes that the viral video claiming Prime Minister Narendra Modi made remarks about the saffronisation of the Indian Army and issued warnings to Bangladesh is false and misleading. The full original video and official transcript of the speech contain no such references to Pakistan, Bangladesh, or the 1971 war. Furthermore, audio analysis using AI-detection tools confirms that the voice in the viral clip has been digitally manipulated.
A photo allegedly showing injuries to Seema Haider has been widely circulated on social media. Users are claiming that her husband Sachin Meena assaulted her. However, a fact-check by CyberPeace Research Wing has found the claim to be false. The research reveals that the viral image is AI-generated and is being shared with a misleading narrative.
Claim
On X (formerly Twitter), a user shared the image on May 14, 2026, claiming that Sachin Meena assaulted Seema Haider.
A keyword-based search on Google did not return any credible media reports supporting the viral claim.
A closer visual examination of the image raised suspicions of AI generation. The image was first analysed using the AI detection tool Hive Moderation, which indicated a 99% probability that the image is AI-generated.
Further analysis using another AI detection tool, Sightengine, also produced similar results, confirming a 99% likelihood that the image was generated using AI tools.
Conclusion
The viral image is AI-generated and misleading. The claim that Sachin Meena assaulted Seema Haider is false and has no factual basis.
