The viral reel's claim that Abhijit Deepke attributed his actions to following the orders of Ashutosh Ranka and Saurabh Das is true. However, the claim that Deepke altered his statement because of police treatment remains an unverified opinion. Additionally, there is no evidence to confirm the claim that an ANI report analyzed the balance of negative and positive comments on Deepke's social media posts.
