Leaders and supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), the Congress and the INDIA alliance have been staging protests in different parts of the country, including Delhi, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Amid the protests, a video showing a massive crowd gathered outside Parliament has gone viral on social media. The video is being shared with the claim that protesters have reached Parliament and are demonstrating against Gyanesh Kumar.

NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral video and found that it is AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A reverse image search of multiple keyframes from the viral clip, along with relevant keyword searches, yielded no credible evidence to substantiate the claim. NewsMobile could not find any authentic footage, official social media posts or credible media reports confirming that such a gathering took place outside the Parliament of India.
Furthermore, a gathering of this scale outside Parliament would likely have attracted significant media attention, yet no credible reports of such an event could be found.
A frame-by-frame analysis of the video revealed several tell-tale signs of AI generation and digital manipulation. These included unnatural facial features, inaccurate lip-syncing, distorted body movements, inconsistent body proportions, irregular lighting and shadows, and unnaturally smooth backgrounds lacking realistic depth and texture.
To further verify the video, NewsMobile analysed it using Hive Moderation, an AI detection tool. The tool flagged the footage as AI-generated with a high probability, further supporting the finding that the viral video is fabricated.
In conclusion, the viral video claiming to show a massive protest outside Parliament against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is AI-generated and does not depict an authentic event.
