The DFRAC team found the viral video to be digitally manipulated. After tracing the original video, which has been available online since March 2019, CJP was founded by @abhijeet_dipke on May 16, 2026, years after Ajit Dovalโ€™s original video appeared online. In the original video, which is the Leadership Talk with Shri Ajit Doval, the National Security Advisor discussed the art of decision-making, operational strategy, national security, and the importance of national identity for the youth.

Conclusion

DFRACโ€™s fact-check establishes that the claim accompanying the viral video is misleading. In fact, a seven-year-old video of Ajit Doval has been edited, and an alleged statement has been added to it. The original video contains no statement about obtaining private photographs and videos of CJP leaders in exchange for their release or blackmailing them.
