The claim
Video of a news report by Rajat Sharma about the death of Dr. Bimal Chhajed, a cardiologist who spoke out against pharmaceutical companies, in a car explosion.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the viral video is AI-generated, combining clips from unrelated footage: Rajat Sharma discussing the Israel-Iran war, a police officer discussing the Kulgam encounter, and Dr. Bimal Chhajed discussing heart attacks and prevention. The review says the audio was manipulated and reports that Chhajed himself called the video fake and fabricated.[S1]
