SAS NAGAR (MOHALI); 25th June 2026:
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday presented evidence exposing a conspiracy behind a fake video circulated on social media to malign his image on religious grounds. Displaying videos and other material before the media, the Chief Minister said a mask resembling him was procured and used to create the fabricated video. He also identified Canada-based Jagman Samra as the person who, he said, used the mask to shoot the video.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the fake video was filmed in a hotel in Canada, whereas he has not visited the country since 2016. He further said the mask was delivered to Jagman Samra in a car and that Samra was subsequently seen holding it. Pointing out that the mask was clearly visible in the video and that his neck surgery scar was missing, the Chief Minister said the makers of the fake video had been identified and would be exposed after verification. He also announced that the matter would be placed before Sri Akal Takht Sahib along with the evidence.
Sharing the video on X, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated: “The elders have always said that there may be delay in God’s justice, but never injustice. My dear Punjabis, over the past few days, my political opponents have played politics over a fake video of me. Today, a single mask has exposed the real faces of those opponents. From the very beginning, I have maintained that the person in that video is not me.
“My head has always bowed before Sri Akal Takht Sahib, and it always will. My faith, my conscience, and the wise people of Punjab stand with me. Who masterminded this entire conspiracy? In the coming days, we will make more major revelations about it as well. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,” the post concluded.
Addressing the media, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “For the last several days, a fake and fabricated video of mine has been circulated repeatedly. Religious directives were also got issued only to derive political benefit from it. Political masters are using people occupying religious positions to make announcements according to their convenience in an attempt to defame me religiously because they cannot compete with me politically. They have become completely irrelevant on the ground and have now stooped to issuing one order after another every day only to malign me religiously.”
The Chief Minister said, “Our government has done unprecedented work for the social, economic and religious welfare of the people of Punjab. Whether it is the strict anti-beadbi law, waiving the tax on vehicles carrying Palki Sahib, holding the Punjab Vidhan Sabha session at Anandpur Sahib at the feet of Guru Sahib during the 350th Shaheedi Diwas celebrations, or granting ‘holy city’ status to three sacred cities, they cannot compete with these decisions.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “All the opposition parties have now united with only one objective: target Bhagwant Mann through false videos so that people begin to hate me. That will never happen.”
Questioning the role of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), he said, “Boards have been put up outside Gurdwaras asking people to boycott Bhagwant Mann in the name of the orders of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, whose supreme authority I fully respect along with the entire Sikh Sangat across the world. Why were such boards not put up against Sukhbir Badal when he was declared ‘Tankhaiya’? Why were people not asked to boycott those held responsible for beadbi incidents and police firing? When the SGPC President himself says he is a soldier of Sukhbir Badal rather than Guru Gobind Singh Ji, it becomes clear where his loyalties lie.”
Reaffirming his respect for Sri Akal Takht Sahib, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “When I was called to Sri Akal Takht Sahib, I went there as a humble Sikh. Even today, if I am called, I will appear without hesitation. I can never challenge the supremacy of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, nor do I have the stature to do so.”
Referring to the video released from those proceedings, he said, “I had requested that the proceedings be telecast live, but I was told only a recording would be kept for the Panj Singh Sahiban. Now even that recording is being selectively released after editing. Even in that recording, I maintain that the person shown is not me. Anyone can get this investigated.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Yesterday, the Congress held a press conference asking people to boycott Bhagwant Mann, alleging that I had challenged the supremacy of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. The same Congress, which demolished Sri Akal Takht Sahib and fired tanks and shells during 1984, is now claiming that it will protect the dignity and sanctity of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.”
He added, “The second party is the Akali Dal, which has a history of sacrileges. The third party is the BJP, whose leaders advised Indira Gandhi that attacking was the best option, leading to Operation Blue Star. Today, these three parties have come together and formed a joint front against Bhagwant Mann. This only proves that they have become politically rattled. They cannot gather crowds wherever they go, whereas people are joining me in large numbers.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “I continue to visit villages every single day. Today I am going to Jalur village in Barnala district. Yesterday I was in Dharampura village in Budhlada, and the day before that I was in Mandi Kalan in the Maur Assembly constituency. Every day I meet people in villages. People climb onto rooftops and terraces to see us. They discuss water supply, electricity, employment, village ponds, roads and development. While people are discussing development, my opponents are trying to divert Punjab’s attention towards fabricated controversies.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “After presenting today’s evidence, I believe there will be no need for me to say anything further. I leave the decision to the Guru Nanak Naam Leva Sangat. Before that, I want to show a video in which a young man clearly explains that the individual acting in my place was wearing a mask.”
Explaining the video frame by frame, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The mask is clearly visible. A distinct line can be seen wherever the mask ends. The person’s chin is completely smooth, whereas I have had a permanent surgery mark on my chin since I was five years old. That mark is visible even in my old videos, including my early comedy videos. Those who created this fake video forgot to recreate that mark.”
He further said, “The neck line, the ears, the facial contours and even the skin colour clearly show that a mask has been placed over another person’s face. The movement of the neck also reveals folds created by the mask. The eyes could not be recreated through the mask, which is why dark glasses were used to conceal them. Anyone can zoom into the video and verify these details.”
He said, “The mask was specially manufactured and delivered. On the day it was delivered, Canada-based blackmailer Jagman Samra recorded a video inside his car after placing the mask over his hand. He also clicked photographs showing the mask and explained how it fits over another person’s face.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The same mask was later placed on another individual and the fake video was shot. The room shown in the video is a hotel room in Abbotsford, Canada. I have not visited Canada since November 2016. Since then I have been contesting elections and later became a Member of Parliament. The design of the hotel room itself reflects construction styles that became common only after 2017-18. Who places photographs of Guru Sahib inside a hotel room?”
He added, “The same person also ordered a mask of Arvind Kejriwal. We will present that evidence as well in the coming days.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann further said, “We will also reveal who financed this operation, who paid for the production of these fake videos, who produced them and who directed them. Those revelations will also be shocking. We only want to verify a few remaining details before placing them before the public.”
He said, “The same hotel room was used to shoot other so-called personal videos attributed to me. All of them were shot on the same day using the same person wearing the mask. That is why I have consistently maintained that the individual in those videos is not me. The body structure, mannerisms, walking style and posture do not match mine.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The evidence we have presented today will also be sent to Sri Akal Takht Sahib with a request that it be properly investigated. How can a person wearing a mask simply be declared Bhagwant Mann?”
Responding to a question regarding Jagman Samra, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “He belongs to a village near Sangrur, later escaped from Faridkot Jail through Nepal and eventually reached Canada. He is a blackmailer, has links with drugs and has repeatedly indulged in such activities.”
Referring to other allegations, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “The allegations regarding two IPS officers travelling to Gurugram are also false. People can be made to say anything through agencies. Whenever we produce evidence, attempts are made to discredit it by levelling fresh allegations.”
He added, “An FIR has already been registered in this case. The evidence we have presented today will also be handed over to the police. We will initiate the process of bringing this individual back through Interpol.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the matter would also be taken up by the Punjab Vidhan Sabha committee.
He further added that Jagman Samra had previously blackmailed the son of a former Union Agriculture Minister, demanded huge sums of money, and had also targeted leaders during the farmers’ agitation.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Such fake videos always surface around elections. During previous elections too, fabricated videos were circulated claiming I was drunk, had fallen down, or could not even eat a burger. These are election-time weapons because my opponents have nothing else to offer.”
Concluding, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The people of Punjab know the truth. Every day when I visit villages, people tell me they understand who is behind these conspiracies. The public knows everything.”
