According to police, in reality, the video was of the meeting of the cabinet committee, which took place on December 9, 2021, after the demise of Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat. "The video was readily available on various news portals and social media platforms," police said.
K P S Malhotra, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) said that with the ill-intent to promote enmity and instigate communal disharmony, the video was morphed and a new voiceover was super imposed in which the alleged persons tried to show that the meeting was against the Sikh community.

Primarily two Twitter accounts -- @simrankaur0507 and @eshalkaur1-- were identified which had started the propagation of this video, they said.
During technical investigation, it was noticed that there are various accounts, which had tweeted the same video with the same content and same hashtag, police said.
All the accounts were created between October 2021 to December 2021. The technical analysis has been revealed that these accounts were being operated from a single browser (developed by multilogin.com), police said.
