"Besides the purported CCTV footage, which the police say is AI-generated, no proof has emerged yet of the alleged incident involving the senior officer." ThePrint, 2026-10-06

🔎 Our read of the video

From the video alone, the officer on board appears not to step in while detainees, including women, are pressed to get off; protecting people in custody is the police's job.

1:04 A uniformed police officer sits inside the bus and does not intervene while men outside demand that passengers disembark.

Likely context (likely, not confirmed): the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest on 10 October.

An AI assessment from the footage alone; watch the video and judge for yourself.
