Fact Check
Claims, promises, strange statements and political talking points — checked against the evidence before you forward them.
15 Lakh Mila Kya?
The one time a political party accidentally coined its own opposition's favourite insult. It's still in use a decade later.
Bullet Train Abhi Bhi “Aa Rahi Hai”?
Still faster than most Indian trains. Just not faster than the deadline kept outrunning it.
Kisan Ki Aay Double Hui Kya?
57.6% is a genuinely solid raise. It is not, in any language, what the word “double” means.
Sabka Ghar Ban Gaya?
Turns out “All” meant about half, eventually, depending which state you live in.
1988 Mein Digital Camera Kahan Se Aaya?
A time-travelling digital camera would be a bigger scientific breakthrough than anything else on this page.
Mahabharat Mein WiFi Tha Kya?
Divyadrishti is a plot device. It is not, on reflection, a broadband connection.
Gaumutra Se Cancer Theek Ho Gaya?
Oncologists have a whole menu of treatment protocols. None of the peer-reviewed ones involve a cow.
Patel Hote Toh Kashmir Poora Hota?
During a roughly 90-minute speech in the Lok Sabha responding to the Motion of Thanks on the President's address.
370 Bhi Nehru Ki Galti Thi?
Moving the resolution and bill to abrogate Article 370 in the Rajya Sabha, in the actual debate that ended the provision.
Islamabad Captured? Not So Fast.
BOOM found no evidence that Islamabad had been captured or that Shehbaz Sharif had surrendered. The reports were part of a wider wave of false wartime reporting.
The Fake PMO Letter That Became TV News
BOOM found the letter was fake. The report was attributed to Times Now and Republic TV and treated a fabricated document as genuine news material.
Old Image, New Pahalgam Headline
BOOM found that the image was old and unrelated to the Pahalgam attack, despite being used by multiple news outlets in coverage of the incident.
Population Change = Infiltration?
Alt News found that the population data were being presented selectively: both Hindu and Muslim population growth rates have been falling, with the decline sharper among Muslims. The available Census data do not establish that infiltration caused the observed demographic change.
'Nepal-Like Violence' Said What Exactly?
Alt News found that the circulated clip was presented out of context and that the viral framing did not accurately represent what Wangchuk said. The report also documented amplification by BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya and other pro-BJP accounts.
The Manifesto Said 'Wealth Distribution to Muslims' — Did It?
Alt News compared the manifesto text with the claims. The manifesto did not contain a pledge to seize private wealth and redistribute it to Muslims. The report also examined the repeated 'first right' claim and the way the manifesto's minority provisions were being reframed during the campaign.
