Manipulated videos falsely claim that the Indian actor “threatened a gang boss” after the ex-minister's murder.

After a former Maharashtra minister was murdered ahead of key elections in the state, doctored videos surfaced online with the false claim that they showed a prominent Indian actor warning the leader of a criminal gang about the murder. However, original clips uploaded years before the attack actually show the actor – Sanjay Dutt – extending festive greetings and talking about his film. He has not made any public statements in connection with the murder of the ex-minister.
