In the video, which appears to be the same as the one shared by AAP social media handles but with some alterations, Pankaj Tripathi talks about UPI-related frauds alongside a Moongfaliwala.

The fact check done by India TV has revealed that the claim being made with the post going viral on social media is manipulated to falsely attribute political campaigning against the BJP.
