Delhi Police files a First Information Report (FIR) against Prashant Bhushan after he shares a video clip said to be fake and purportedly featuring a Russian foreign minister making remarks critical of India.
The reports say the clip was fabricated and circulated as if it showed comments about India’s internal affairs and oil purchases. Scroll.in adds that India’s Ministry of External Affairs and the Russian embassy state the video was manufactured, providing an official foreign-affairs framing to the claim.
Times of India and The Hindu both describe the FIR and present the core allegation: Bhushan shared a fake video depicting criticism of India. While all outlets align on the broad storyline—an alleged misinformation episode involving a misattributed Russian official—the emphasis differs, with some foregrounding law-enforcement action and others highlighting the role of external-affairs authorities and the Russian embassy.
