Was Eknath Shinde drunk while talking to the media? Read, Fact-Check

Mobeen Ahmad June 28, 2022

A video is going viral on social media. Users are claiming through this video that Eknath Shinde, who is the leader of the rebel MLAs of Shiv Sena, was drunk while interacting with the media.

Surya Pratap Singh IAS Rtd. captioned the viral video, “टुन्न…ड्रोन कहां है?” (Tunn…Where’s the drone).

Similarly, eminent lawyer Prashant Bhushan also shared the video and captioned, “Rebel Shiv Sena leader Shinde. Was drunk on power or just drunk?”

Beef Janata Party has posted the viral video with the same caption.

Several other users have also shared Shinde’s video with the same claim.

Fact Check:

After Searching on the internet about this video and Shinde, we found the same video on  NDTV India. This 6 minutes 39 seconds long video is of Surat International Airport. It can be seen that there is a huge media crowd and the police security is also tight. During this, Shinde is also seen avoiding the questions of the media.

 

A user named Shivanand Kabade has tweeted in Marathi, “the video of Eknath Shinde drinking alcohol is going viral on social media at the moment, there is no truth in it. Take this, the original full video.”

एकनाथ शिंदे दारू पिऊन आहेत असा विडिओ सध्या सामाज माध्यमांवर व्हायरल होतोय, त्यात काहीही तथ्य नाही तो सुरत येथील विडिओ अर्धवट एडिट करून मुद्दामून व्हायरल केला जातोय .

The same can be seen in the tweet of news agency ANI.

Conclusion:

DFRAC’s fact check clears that the claim of “PK” through the video about Eknath Shinde is misleading because the video is doctored, hence users are sharing this video in a misleading manner.
