Alt News performed a keyword search and came across a report by Aaj Tak<\/a>. It stated that the man seen in the video was Vibhrat Chand Kaushik of the BJP, and the footage was taken at an event held in the Bansgaon constituency area where Yogi Adityanath was the chief guest.<\/p>\n
We examined Kaushik\u2019s Facebook profile to verify this and found a few other images taken at the aforementioned event. This confirms that the BJP leader was present at this gathering.<\/p>\n

We then performed a keyword search on YouTube and found a video from that day posted by the Uttar Pradesh government\u2019s channel. Scenes from the viral video appear at the 10:05 mark. It can be seen clearly that Vibhrat Chand Kaushik gets up from his seat to whisper something into Yogi Adityanath\u2019s ear, before he is told to sit back down.<\/p>\n
