Recently, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has claimed that the Punjab government is backing Aam Aadmi Party Leader of Opposition Atishi after a Jalandhar court cleared her in a case linked to a Delhi Assembly video.

The video had allegedly included objectionable remarks about Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur.

"The words spoken in the Assembly are so objectionable that they cannot even be repeated. This is not a matter of politics, but an insult to ethics and religion," Sirsa said.

He also questioned how the investigation was handled, saying that the same police force which failed to carry out a forensic probe into its own SP’s viral audio is now producing a forensic report in this case without even having the original video.

"The so-called forensic investigation conducted without the original video, without an IT expert, and without a voice sample is completely wrong and misleading," 

AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj rejected Sirsa’s allegations and referred to the Jalandhar court’s ruling. He said the court had accepted that Atishi did not use the word “Guru” in the video.'

It has ordered that such videos "be removed from all social media platforms and directed that a list be prepared of those who circulated them online," Bhardwaj said. "The court also observed that the language used by BJP ministers Kapil Mishra and Manjinder Singh Sirsa could potentially incite communal tensions," he added.

On the forensic report, Bharadwaj said the analysis—based on audio examination, spectrographic testing, and metadata—clearly showed that Atishi did not say the word “Guru” in the video shared by Kapil Mishra. He added that the court accepted this conclusion and also flagged the risk of communal tension arising from the use of provocative language.

A Jalandhar court on Thursday ordered the immediate removal and blocking of an allegedly manipulated video involving former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, noting that its circulation could seriously disturb public order and religious harmony in Punjab.

The viral clip from Delhi Assembly proceedings had allegedly shown Atishi making objectionable remarks about the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur. However, after a detailed technical and forensic examination, the court found that the video had been doctored and deliberately altered to create a false and misleading narrative.
