Why we say that›
Ashutosh Ranka is wrongly called Chief Justice while warning Rajasthan minister of agitation
The 48-hour ultimatum and police criticism come from the real CJP co-convenor. The on-screen text and framing add the false title of Chief Justice, which changes the weight of the statement. That single error makes the reel misleading.
The ultimatum, threats and police criticism are real from the CJP spokesperson. None of the sources show him holding or claiming the title of Chief Justice.
