The claim
The viral video shows Swami Avimukteshwaranand confronting CM Yogi Adityanath in a video call, chiding him over the mismanagement of the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela.
Original review summary
The review finds that the viral footage comes from an interview, not a video call with CM Yogi Adityanath. Avimukteshwaranand criticises the Kumbh arrangements in the clip, but he is not speaking directly to the CM.[S1]
Additional context
The interview was uploaded by Jamawat on 03 February 2025. The review says the viral clip and interview footage show the same event, filmed from different angles. [S1]
