Chandigarh, June 19 Two independent forensic labs have issued definitive reports clearing Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann of any connection to a controversial video circulating on digital platforms. The frame-by-frame technical evaluation scrutinized the individual’s physical proportions, shoulder alignment, and motion patterns, finding zero matches with the Chief Minister’s actual physical features.
According to the findings, the person depicted in the recording possesses a completely distinct facial layout and stands two inches taller than Chief Minister Mann. Representatives stated that the video was initially offered to mainstream media organizations under false pretenses, but responsible news outlets declined to broadcast it after realizing its fraudulent nature.
State Media In-Charge Baltej Pannu affirmed that the ruling party is treating the incident as a serious breach of public trust and has demanded a full-scale police inquiry.
“2 independent forensic reports confirm no match between viral video and CM Bhagwant Singh Mann,” the official declared.
He noted that the administration will not allow malicious digital fabrications to impact the social stability of Punjab.
The administration noted that the individuals behind the smear campaign are likely trying to divert attention from ongoing judicial proceedings related to historical sacrilege cases, such as the Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan incidents. Officials maintained that previous governments protected wrongdoers and suppressed inquiry commission reports for years. They asserted that the current government remains focused on transparent development and inclusive growth, promising that all operators behind the digital conspiracy will face strict legal accountability.
