A recent claim that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma threatened the Chief Justice of India was debunked after a fact‑check revealed the videos in question are from earlier years.
Videos circulated on social media in early 2024 alleged that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma threatened the Chief Justice of India.
The clips showed the CM speaking in a heated tone, but the content was not recorded during the current legislative session.
A fact‑checking team traced the footage to a 2021 press conference where the CM was addressing a different issue.
The videos were edited and reposted in 2024, leading to confusion among viewers.
The fact‑check confirms that the alleged threat did not occur in the present context, highlighting the need for careful verification of online content.
