What's the truth?: This video is an altered one. Moreover, ABP News also dismissed the viral claim and called it 'fake'.

How did we find out the truth?: We checked ABP News' official X (formerly Twitter) account to see whether they have posted this video.

• However, we did not find any such report or post about a survey showcasing these numbers.

• We did find a dismissal from the media outlet which clarified that this video is fake.

• It stated, "A fake video is being circulated on social media in the name of ABP News. No such opinion poll has been conducted by ABP News."

• We then performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the video video on Google which led us to the original bulletin on ABP News.

• This was shared on their YouTube channel on 28 January 2025 and the anchor is seen talking about Rahul Gandhi's participating in the election campaign rally.

• It does not mention anything about Kejriwal or any survey predicting AAP's win.

Audio spoof analysis: We scanned the video on AI-detection tools, Contrails AI, and the results confidently marked this as fake.

• It concluded that there are clear signs of AI based manipulation in the audio.

Viral video's audio has been manipulated using AI.
