The Quint Debunks Misinformation on LPU Incident and Clarifies ECI Report ClaimsPreviousNext

Two articles from The Quint address misinformation related to the Lovely Professional University (LPU) incident and Election Commission of India (ECI) coverage. One article debunks false claims including AI-altered videos falsely linking individuals to the LPU case and unrelated footage misrepresented as recent protests. The other clarifies that Indian Express did not retract or refute its report on the ECI and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, countering viral claims of contradictory coverage between two journalists.
