The manipulated video was shared elsewhere with false claims on Facebook<\/a> and X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Senior Police Inspector Mohan Mane of Khar police station told AFP that officers had launched an investigation after the actor reported that an old clip of him had been edited to insert the endorsement message.<\/p>\n “The video is being digitally edited and shared with false claims,” he said. “We are investigating the matter.”<\/p>\n According to the Hindustan Times<\/a>, Khan’s legal advisor Huzvak Batliwalla told police, \u201cAfter watching it, we concluded the visuals were taken out of an old video of his, with the voice-over possibly being patched with the help of artificial intelligence\u201d (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n A keyword search on YouTube found the unedited footage published<\/a> on August 30, 2016, by the verified channel of Satyamev Jayate<\/a>, a well-known Indian TV show that Khan hosted (archived links here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n In the original footage, Khan said, “Friends, every citizen of India should have one crore rupees ($120,000), if you do not have it then where have your money gone? Find out on our show this Sunday at 11am.”<\/p>\n He did not refer to “false promises” or endorse any political party.<\/p>\n Below is a screenshot comparison of the false post video (left) and the Satyamev Jayate YouTube video (right):<\/p>\n
