The clip was played on a large LED screen during a Dahi Handi event and later circulated online. Bapat recently demanded restrictions on DJs and high-decibel sound systems during Ganeshotsav, triggering opposition from several Ganesh mandal workers in Pune.

Current reading — problem

An AI-generated video falsely depicting activist Vidyanand Bapat dancing to DJ beats was played on a large LED screen at a public Dahi Handi event and circulated online, targeting him after his call for DJ restrictions during Ganeshotsav.

What this doesn’t fix

The source qualifies the clip as purportedly showing the activist and only reportedly AI-generated, leaving definitive authentication unresolved.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0989 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
