The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on 10 October 2026, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Delhi Police denied permission and detained thousands of protesters, including three CJP leaders. With Jantar Mantar barricaded, some protesters gathered elsewhere. On 12 October, opposition leaders also marched to the Supreme Court against the SIR exercise, but police stopped them (here, here, here, here).

In this context, visuals showing crowds are being shared on social media with the claim that they show gatherings at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and outside Parliament House (here, here, here). Let’s verify these videos. 

Claim: Visuals showing anti-CEC protestors gathering outside Parliament and Jantar Mantar.

Fact: These videos are AI-generated, not real visuals. No media reports mentioned the viral video or any protest by the public against the CEC inside the Parliament premises. Hence, the claims made in these posts are FALSE.

Upon closer examination, we noticed a Gemini logo, associated with Google’s AI tool, in the bottom-right corner of the video, suggesting that it may have been AI-generated. We further analysed a keyframe from the viral video using SynthID, which also detected AI-generated content in the clip.

On performing a relevant keyword search, we found that no media reports mentioned the viral video or any protest by the public against the CEC inside the Parliament premises. We analysed the viral video using Hive’s AI-detection tool, which indicated that the video was AI-generated.

Furthermore, PIB Fact Check and Delhi Police also clarified that the viral video was fake and had been generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

To sum up, these videos are AI-generated and do not show a protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi.
