In late July 2026, fact‑checkers debunked a viral video that claimed Union minister JP Nadda stepped out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Range Rover to present a bouquet. The original clip, posted in July 2024, showed a different individual exiting the vehicle with files, and there was no indication it was Nadda.

The following day, another fact‑check reiterated the falsehood, noting that the footage was an old recording from 27 July 2024 of Modi and Nadda arriving separately at the BJP headquarters. At that time Nadda was the party’s national president, not the health minister, and he was not in the same car as Modi. The repeated clarification highlights ongoing attempts to correct the misinformation surrounding the alleged car appearance.

Both checks underscore how edited or out‑of‑context videos can quickly spread online, prompting verification by Indian media outlets.
