Fact-check: Video of Maulana Arshad Madani in a helicopter from his Bangladesh visit falsely shared as Maulana Sajjad Nomani in Maharashtra Assembly election campaign - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is not of maulana sajjad nomani from the maharashtra election campaign, but of maulana arshad madani, president of jamiat ulama hind, during his recent visit to bangladesh. there are no credible reports about maulana sajjad nomani being provided with a helicopter. additionally, on 19 november 2024, maulana sajjad nomani clarified through an x post that he had not made any demands to the maha vikas aghadi  in exchange for his support. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
