The political friction in Delhi has intensified following a forensic science laboratory report declaring that the controversial video clip concerning Leader of Opposition Atishi is genuine. The report, commissioned by the Delhi Assembly, refutes earlier claims by Punjab police that the video was doctored.

Speaker Vijender Gupta accused the AAP-led Punjab government of hastily conducting its own forensic test and using it to register an FIR. This report has stirred debates on political manipulation, with Gupta calling for a CBI investigation to scrutinize both the video and its examination by Punjab officials.

The controversy originated from alleged disrespectful remarks towards Sikh Gurus made by Atishi—an allegation she denies. While AAP challenges the report's integrity, Gupta demands Atishi's apology, warning of serious repercussions within the Assembly if she fails to comply.
