The claim

A Facebook Live by popular YouTuber Avi Dandiya in which he claimed that the BJP had planned the Pulwama attack in an attempt to win the 2019 elections has gone viral. In the video, he presented an audio clip of alleged conversation between Home Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP Chief Amit Shah and an unidentified woman, where they seem to plan the attack on a convoy of paramilitary forces in Pulwama, Kashmir. BBC Fact Check Team found that his claims are false. The audio clip appears to be doctored with voices from different interviews picked and merged to make it seem like a conversation of deliberate attempts to do such an attack.
