Two of seven videos manipulated, finds forensic probe report

The forensic probe of a set of video clippings of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) event ordered by the Delhi government has found that the two videos were “manipulated” where voices of persons not present in the clips were added.

Out of the seven videos sent by the Delhi government to the Hyderabad-based Truth Labs, two have been found to be tampered with while the rest were authentic, sources said.

“In the manipulated clips, videos have been edited and voices have been added. The main report, with a supplementary, has been submitted to the Delhi government,” an official said.

The Arvind Kejriwal led-government had on February 13 ordered a magisterial inquiry into the alleged raising of anti-national slogans on the Jawaharlal Nehru University’s campus on February 9.

Earlier, a video showing raising of anti-India slogans allegedly by outsiders at the event had given a fresh twist to the case. In the video, the youths, whose faces were covered, could be seen raising slogans against India.

Several videos of the event have surfaced since the controversy broke out leading to the arrest of JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar on charges of sedition, triggering widespread protests.
