Mohali, June 26: Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann stated that a digital smear campaign directed against him has been conclusively exposed as a manufactured operation involving an overseas handler and specialized facial prosthetics. Speaking to reporters, the Chief Minister asserted that a comprehensive analysis of the video’s background, physical dimensions, and facial anatomy proves the individual shown was an actor styled to resemble him.
The logistical trail linked the production directly to a resident in Canada who has a history of illicit activities and digital interference. The Chief Minister maintained that the operative recorded setup videos showing how the realistic mask fits over a person’s head before executing the final shoot. “From the very beginning, I have maintained that the person in that video is not me,” the Chief Minister declared, adding that the actor’s physical build, walking style, and posture vary significantly from his own.
A detailed examination of the video frames showed distinct structural discrepancies along the neck line and ears where the edge of the prosthetic material met the actor’s skin. The Chief Minister declared that the creators also failed to replicate his specific facial features, including a lifelong surgery mark on his chin. He affirmed that the entire series of unauthorized personal videos attributed to him were captured in the same Canadian hotel room during a single production session.
“My head has always bowed before Sri Akal Takht Sahib, and it always will. My faith, my conscience, and the wise people of Punjab stand with me.”
The Chief Minister asserted that traditional political parties are utilizing religious platforms through proxy entities because they cannot compete with the administration’s development record on water supply, rural healthcare, and employment. He pointed out the double standards of opposition factions, noting that those who previously faced serious religious reprimand never encountered public boycott calls or targeted institutional opposition.
The administrative findings will be formally passed to the Punjab Vidhan Sabha committee and law enforcement agencies to expand the domestic investigation. The Chief Minister affirmed that additional details regarding the financial backers, directors, and coordinators of the operation have been tracked and will be shared with the public once final verifications are completed.
