“Modi ji’s important decision since barabanki liquor accident has been stopped by alcohol in whole india from tonight,”\u00a0<\/em>was a message viral along with an alleged screengrab of an\u00a0Aaj Tak\u00a0<\/em>broadcast. Citing the media outlet, social media claims suggested that the Prime Minister has decided to ban liquor across the country. It’s noteworthy that 16 people had lost their lives last month in UP’s Barabanki after consuming poisonous alcohol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Circulating since 2017<\/h2>\n

The alleged screengrab of the Aaj Tak\u00a0<\/em>broadcast has been floating on social media since 2017.<\/p>\n

Photoshopped clip<\/h2>\n

The viral screenshot is not genuine and has, in fact, been photoshopped. This becomes evident if one carefully scrutinises the clip. In the image below, we have highlighted the portions that have been manufactured.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Aaj Tak’s\u00a0<\/em>logo is blurry and a part of it has been covered by graphics. It is not possible that a media channel does not broadcast its logo in a proper manner.<\/p>\n

2 and 3. The newsflash on the screen – \u00a0\u201c\u0906\u091c \u0930\u093e\u0924 \u0938\u0947 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u0947 \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0936\u0930\u093e\u092c \u092c\u0928\u094d\u0926\u201d –\u00a0<\/em>is clearer than the rest of the text on the screen and is also written using a different font. The alphabet ‘\u0936’ in ‘\u0926\u0947\u0936’ (marked as 2) does not have the same font as the ‘\u0936’ in ‘\u0936\u0930\u093e\u092c’ (marked as 3).<\/p>\n

4 and 5. The ‘\u092e’ in\u00a0‘\u0928\u093e\u092e’ (marked as 4) and the ‘\u092e’ in ‘\u092e\u0947\u0902’ (marked as 5) is also different.<\/p>\n

6. Furthermore, the background in the screengrab is atypical for a news channel to carry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News found that the image of the Prime Minister used in the screengrab was lifted from a December 31, 2016 address to the nation.\u00a0DD News\u00a0<\/em>had uploaded PM Modi’s complete speech where he can be seen in the same clothes as in the viral image. The background also matches.<\/p>\n
