Clip of Muslim doctor slapping Bihar's former chief minister is AI-generated - Yahoo

A video circulating on social media in April 2026 falsely portrayed a Muslim doctor slapping a former chief minister. The incident the video refers to occurred in December 2025, when the chief minister pulled down the doctor's veil during a ceremony, sparking outrage.

What happened

The clip purports to show the doctor slapping the chief minister in response to him pulling down her veil. However, news footage from the actual event shows no such physical altercation, and there were no reports of a slap. The false video contains visual inconsistencies, including incoherent text in the background, a distorting hand, and discrepancies in the appearance of people present at the event. Analysis by the DeepFake-O-Meter detection tool indicated the clip was likely AI-generated.
