Claim: 'The German Times' article reported the news of Punjab CM Bhagwat Mann's deplaning from Lufthansa's Frankfort-Delhi flight for being drunk.
Fact-check: This purported 'The German Times' news clipping reporting the deplaning of Bhagwat Mann for being drunk is a satirical one - FACTLY
Verdict: the purported news clipping is a satirical article created by a satire and meme creator named '@beingbhk'. bhagwat mann did reschedule his return journey to delhi at the last minute at the frankfurt airport on 18 september 2022. while the aam aadmi party  leaders stated bhagwat mann being unwell as the reason for the rescheduling, a few anonymous eyewitnesses reportedly told certain media houses that a person resembling bhagwat mann was made to disembark from the lufthansa's aircraft. lufthansa through a tweet stated that the delayed inbound flight and an aircraft change are the reasons for the delay of their frankfurt-delhi flight. though we could not ascertain the exact reasons for bhagwat mann's rescheduling of this return from germany, it can be confirmed that the news clipping shared in the post is a satire and was not published by 'the german times'. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
