13-week-old video predicting ‘attack’ as diversion from ‘vote scam’ resurfaces after Delhi Blast
New Delhi: A 13-week-old Instagram video has gone viral after netizens linked it to the recent blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, which killed at least twelve people. The reel, originally posted nearly three months ago, appears to hint at a “major incident” that would divert attention from the alleged “vote scam” controversy in the country.
The video shows a man in a formal suit sitting pensively, with the text overlay: “When you realise something big is gonna happen in the country to overshadow the vote scam!” The clip has now crossed over 2.1 million views, drawing renewed attention amid heightened political and public tension following the Red Fort explosion.
The “vote scam” debate resurfaced last week when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission (EC) of colluding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to manipulate results in the Haryana Assembly elections. Gandhi alleged a “centralised operation” created over 25 lakh fake voters through duplicate entries and altered photographs. The EC, however, dismissed these claims as “baseless.”
Soon after the blast, social media users began revisiting the old reel, with many suggesting it “predicted” a distraction from ongoing controversies. Comments on the video reflected both shock and suspicion. One user wrote, “The silence scares me. They are plotting something big. I pray for the innocents.” Another said, “The BJP senses the ground slipping under its feet and is desperate.”
Other comments under the resurfaced video mentioned past national events such as “Terrorist attack, Demonetization, CAA, NRC,” with one user warning, “Attack hone wala hai 😢.” Some had even speculated earlier that any such incident could carry religious or communal undertones.
After the Delhi blast, the reel flooded with fresh comments like “3-month-old reel trending again! Not a proud moment but one of sorrow. Stay strong Delhi ❤️🩹” “Ho gaya...🔥 Blast in Delhi.” “Yeah, the Red Fort bomb blast as a distraction to get protests away too.” “Whenever there’s a bottleneck for BJP, they have insane plans like this… even Delhi CM must’ve known.”
Referring to similar instances, one user drew parallels with the Pahalgam attack, claiming it too coincided with Muslim protests over the Waqf Amendment Act.
Summing up the public sentiment, another commenter wrote, “How can the public be fans of a party like it’s an IPL team? They’re public servants treating us like pawns while filling their pockets.” The same user alleged that agencies like the EC and EDI were being misused, urging citizens to “wake up before it’s too late.”

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
