Several social media users have shared a clip of a Sikh man getting baptised, a Christian rite of admission and adoption. It has been claimed that the man is Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi.
पंजाब का मुख्यमंत्री चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी है ??

Multiple Twitter users have shared it including @Sourabh3507, @PunitTyagiBjp, and @Ravindr14670837.
पंजाब के नए मुख्यमंत्री @CHARANJITCHANNI रहते है सरदार के वेश में, पूजा आराधना करते है ईसाइयो के वेश में, कांग्रेश का चन्नी जी को मुख्यमंत्री चुनने के पीछे क्या इरादा हो सकता है।। क्या यह भी मिशनरी का एक भाग है 🤔।।@congress_ @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi @PunjabGovtIndia pic.twitter.com/hpiPs0ozrh

Several users posted this video on pro-BJP Facebook pages such as सच से सामना Sach Se Samna [5,000 members], Stop Conversions in India [5,000 members] KADVA SACH [26,000 members], Republic Tv [30,000 members] and Pushpendra Kulshrestha: Hindu Sher [56,000 members].
Alt News has received several requests to fact-check this claim on our WhatsApp helpline number (+91 76000 11160).
In the video, the priest can be heard saying, “I baptise Simranjit Singh as Samuel…” This itself debunks the false claim. We found that a Facebook user had shared the video mentioning Simranjit Singh.
Simranjit Singh becomes Samuel. Praise the Lord.

Below is a picture of Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi. He does not look identical to the man in the video.
The video below shows a live stream of Channi’s oath-taking ceremony on September 20.
The video has, therefore, been shared with a false claim.
