Fact Checks Debunk Fake Newspaper and Old Video Linked to 'Chalo Dilli' Rally
Ahead of the INDIA bloc's November 1 'Chalo Dilli' rally in Delhi, several misleading posts circulated, including an AI-generated fake Indian Express newspaper front page and a video falsely claimed to show the rally. Fact-checks confirmed the newspaper image was fabricated and the viral video actually dates from a 2025 Congress rally at Ramlila Maidan. Official reports noted the November 1 rally had a large turnout and traffic restrictions were implemented in central Delhi.
