Sehwag shares doctored video of Pakistan fan destroying TV set after his team loses to India
Fact-checker Zubair shares original video
New Delhi: Former Indian Cricketer and opener Virender Sehwag on Sunday shared a doctored video of a fan destroying his TV set in frustration. Sehwag on his social media handles shared the video claiming that the video was of a Pakistani fan who was breaking his TV set after India defeated Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG in the T20 WC 2022 encounter.
In the video, it was shown that the fan was watching the final ball of Ind vs Pak match of Sunday which ended in a dramatic finish with the match hanging in balance till the last ball before Ravichandran Ashwin scored the winning runs after a brilliant match-winning knock of Virat Kohli.
Sehwag in his post captioned the video, “Relax Padosi , it’s only a game. Hamaare yahan Deepawali hai toh pataakhe phod rahe hain aur aap bevajah TV phod rahe hain Nahin yaar, TV ka kya kasoor.” (Relax neighbors it’s only a game. We are bursting firecrackers to celebrate Diwali, and you guys are breaking TV for no reason. What is the fault of TV) Sehwag wrote with a tinge of sarcasm.
Replying to the 17-minute video clip shared by Sehwag, fact-checker, and co-founder of AltNews Mohammed Zubair shared the original clip and which shows a man watching a football match on TV before destroying the TV set in frustration.
The man in the video is evidently frustrated with his TV set turning off repeatedly at the key moment before he loses his cool and destroys the TV set.
Zubair, also with a tinge of Sarcasm shared the video with the caption “Full video. Last three overs.”
Relax Padosi , it’s only a game.

CEC orders immediate arrest of those involved in post-poll violence in Bengal: Official
Kolkata (PTI): Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar directed the authorities concerned to immediately arrest those involved in post-poll violence and vandalism in West Bengal, an official said on Wednesday.
The Election Commission's directive came after two persons were killed in alleged incidents of post-poll violence in the state on Tuesday, besides scores of party offices being ransacked.
The CEC issued instructions to the West Bengal chief secretary, director general of police, Kolkata police commissioner and directors general of central armed police forces, along with all district magistrates, superintendents of police and other officials, to maintain continuous patrolling in sensitive areas, he said.
"Those responsible for inciting violence and carrying out acts of vandalism must be arrested immediately," the official said, quoting the CEC's instruction.
The chief election commissioner also stressed the need for swift and firm enforcement of the law, he added.
This directive came amid concerns over law and order in parts of the state, with the Election Commission closely monitoring the situation, he added.
"We have been asked to remain on high alert and ensure that any attempt to disturb peace is dealt with firmly," a senior police officer said.
The state authorities have intensified vigil across districts, with coordinated efforts between the police and central forces to prevent any untoward incident, he added.
The assembly elections were held in West Bengal in two phases - April 23 and 29. The counting of votes took place on May 4.
The BJP sealed a landslide victory with 207 seats in the 294-member assembly, ending the TMC's uninterrupted 15-year rule in the state.
