Chandigarh, June 21 -- Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday urged the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to ensure a thorough investigation into the fake video campaign targeting the Punjab Chief Minister, saying the forensic examination of more than 1,100 frames has conclusively established that the person seen in the video is not the Chief Minister.
AAP Punjab Media In-Charge Baltej Pannu said the focus must now shift to identifying the actor featured in the video, those who produced and directed it, and the individuals who financed what he described as a well-planned conspiracy.
The AAP Punjab Media In-charge also called upon the Jathedar Sahib to summon Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal and seek answers on how he appeared to possess information about the video before others, while noting that Punjab AAP president Aman Arora and Finance minister Harpal
Singh Cheema have already submitted relevant evidence to the Director General of Police (DGP) and demanded a comprehensive probe into the entire matter.
In a statement, AAP leader Baltej Pannu said that CM Bhagwant Mann has consistently stated that the video is not genuine and that a detailed forensic examination has already proven that he has no connection whatsoever with it.
"The investigation analysed more than 1,100 frames of the video and clearly established that the person shown in it is not CM Mann. The forensic examination has categorically ruled out any connection of the Chief Minister with the video," he said.
He respectfully appealed to the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to ensure a thorough probe into the matter and identify every individual involved in the production of the video.
