Unrelated Video Falsely Peddled As Ram Temple CEO Celebrating With Alcohol
BOOM found that the man in the viral video is not Ram Temple CEO Jeetendra Mishra.
An unrelated video of a man dancing with a glass, appearing to contain alcohol, balanced on his head is being falsely shared as retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra, the newly appointed CEO of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.
BOOM found that the man in the video is not Mishra and that the video is from November 2025, and predates his appointment.
Mishra was appointed the Trust’s first CEO on September 2, 2026. His appointment came after Champat Rai resigned as general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in June 2026, following allegations of theft and misappropriation of donations that led to an SIT investigation.
The Claim:
The video was quote-tweeted by Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on September 6, 2026. Dipke later clarified acknowledging that the man in the video was not Mishra.
