A row erupted in West Bengal over a video of Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humayun Kabir, which was shown by the Trinamool Congress at a press meet.
The video allegedly shows Kabir claiming to have links with senior BJP leaders and speaking about efforts to defeat West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in the upcoming assembly elections.
Kabir said the video was AI-generated and aimed to malign him, while the TMC demanded an Enforcement Directorate probe into the alleged claims.
Senior TMC leader Firhad Hakim alleged a “deep-rooted conspiracy” and claimed Kabir had been working in tandem with the BJP to mislead minority voters.
The TMC also demanded an ED probe into the matter, with leader Aroop Biswas saying the video confirmed their allegations of the BJP manipulating the mandate.
