The claim
Rakesh Tikait was attacked with ink and a mic during a recent 2024 press conference in Karnataka.
Original review summary
The videos show two separate past incidents, not a recent 2024 press conference: Tikait’s tearful response at the Ghazipur border in January 2021 and an attack at a press event in Bengaluru in May 2022. The review says the 2022 attack involved a microphone and black ink.[S1]
