Two men from Haryana have been arrested by the Gurugram Police for allegedly attempting to fabricate digital forensic reports regarding a controversial video of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. According to the FIR filed by a digital forensics expert, individuals claiming to be senior Punjab officials offered substantial bribes to tailor the report's conclusion.

The Panj Singh Sahiban at Sri Akal Takht Sahib have officially declared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann a 'traitor to the Guru' and ordered a complete social boycott against him. This unprecedented disciplinary action follows independent forensic confirmation of a highly objectionable viral video and the unilateral passage of the Jagat Jyot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026. The Aam Aadmi Party has strongly rejected the allegations, stating the forensic report does not identify the individual in the footage and calling the clergy's decision politically motivated.
