Altered video of eggs allegedly hurled at a BJP politician from Karnataka misleadingly presented as an event in Bihar
In a shocking turn of events, a viral video showing eggs being thrown at BJP MLA Munirathna during a program in Bengaluru, Karnataka, has caused a stir. The video, titled "Karnataka News: Egg Thrown at BJP MLA Munirathna In Bengaluru; Claims Assassination Attempt," was uploaded by The Indian Express on YouTube on 26 December 2024.
The incident, which took place on 25 December 2024, was covered by multiple news reports, including here, here, and here. The video shows the moment when Munirathna was targeted, sparking concerns about his safety.
Three suspects were arrested in connection with the incident, but the claim that the incident took place during a program in Bihar is misleading. Reports included stills from the video, but no records of such an incident were found in Bihar, making it clear that the video is from Karnataka, not Bihar.
Munirathna alleged a conspiracy to kill him after the incident, naming former Karnataka minister DK Shivakumar, his brother DK Suresh, and Congress leaders Kusuma and Hanumantharayappa as potentially responsible for any harm that might come to him. However, Shivakumar and Suresh denied the allegations, accusing Munirathna of staging the incident.
The exact circumstances leading to the incident are still under investigation, but the viral video has undoubtedly caused a significant stir in the political landscape of Karnataka. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and the dangers of misinformation in today's digital age.
