Delhi Political Drama: Forensic Analysis Deepens Atishi Video Controversy

The controversy over a video allegedly involving Delhi's Leader of Opposition Atishi continues. The Delhi Speaker confirmed the video's authenticity, countering Punjab Police's doctoring claims. AAP demands action for breach of privilege, and calls for a CBI probe rise as the matter escalates into a political conflict between BJP and AAP.

A forensic science laboratory has upheld the authenticity of a controversial video involving Delhi Leader of Opposition, Atishi, dispelling claims it was altered. The announcement by Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta intensifies the political standoff.

Punjab police initially described the video as doctored, prompting demands from AAP's chief whip, Sanjiv Jha. He called for action against minister Kapil Mishra for its circulation. However, Gupta insists an independent forensic check confirmed the clip's veracity.

The tension stems from alleged remarks by Atishi about Sikh Gurus, linked to Guru Tegh Bahadur's 350th martyrdom anniversary. Accusations of political maneuvering continue as both sides press for a deeper investigation.
