Claim: Video of a news report by Rajat Sharma about the death of Dr. Bimal Chhajed, a cardiologist who spoke out against pharmaceutical companies, in a car explosion.
Fact-check: This video reporting the death of cardiologist Dr. Bimal Chhajed in a car explosion is fake and created using AI - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video is ai-generated. the clip of news anchor rajat sharma was sourced from a news report where he discussed the ongoing israel-iran war, with no mention of dr. bimal chhajed. the police officer's clip is from a video in which kashmir's igp vk birdi talks about the kulgam encounter. the clip of dr. bimal chhajed is sourced from a podcast on the youtube channel "getsetflyscience by gaurav thakur," where he discusses heart attacks and preventive measures. our analysis using various ai detection tools confirmed that the audio in the viral video is manipulated using artificial intelligence. additionally, a video on the saaol heart center youtube channel features dr. bimal chhajed, the founder of saaol heart center, who labels the viral claim as fake and describes the video as ai-generated and fabricated. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
