Factly has confirmed that the videos circulating online claiming that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay visited Jantar Mantar in New Delhi are false. No evidence of a visit exists.
Factly, a prominent Indian fact‑checking platform, has debunked a viral claim that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay visited the historic Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi. The investigation found that the videos circulating on social media were fabricated and contain no footage of the CM.
Jantar Mantar, built in the 18th century by King Jai Singh II, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major tourist attraction. It has never been listed as a destination in any official itinerary of the Tamil Nadu government.
No records from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s office or the Delhi government confirm a visit, and the CM’s travel logs for the period in question show no presence in New Delhi.
Misinformation of this nature can mislead the public and erode trust in political figures. Fact‑checking outlets like Factly play a crucial role in ensuring that only verified information reaches the audience.
Factly’s spokesperson stated that the videos were likely doctored or misattributed, and urged users to verify sources before sharing content.
