Hyderabad: A screenshot of a news clip is going viral on social media with the claim that a class X student wrote the story of 'Bheemla Nayak', a movie, during an exam. He got zero marks.
Fact Check:
The claim is false.
The Andhra Pradesh government released the class X results on 6 June 2022. Only 67.26% of students passed the exams. This has led to a controversy.
We found that the screenshot that is being shared is from the program 'Weekend Comment by RK'. It is telecast weekly on ABN Andhra Jyoti. It was last telecast on 4 June 2022, before the Andhra Pradesh class X results were released.
Further, we noticed some spelling mistakes in the screenshot. The film's name, too, has been misspelled. It is unusual for a news organisation to make such mistakes. (Click here to read one of Andhra Jyothy's reports on 'Bheemla Nayak'.)
It is clear from this that the post was digitally altered.
