Bihar Polls 2025: Did Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary Fall While Getting Off A Helicopter?

A video circulating on social media claims that BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary fell while getting off a helicopter during an election campaign for the ongoing state assembly polls. 

The six-second clip appears to show Choudhary tripping and falling to the ground as he steps out of a helicopter, with several people rushing forward to help him.

Evidence

A keyword search using terms like “Samrat Choudhary,” “helicopter,” and “fall” yielded no credible media reports supporting the viral claim.

A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video led to a Facebook post by @IndoNepalNews, dated November 5, 2025. The video in that post showed Choudhary’s helicopter landing at the same site — but he disembarked smoothly and greeted people, with no sign of a fall.

Similarly, journalist Vivekanand Singh Kushwaha shared the same clip on X on November 8, 2025, showing Choudhary getting down normally.

None of the authentic videos featured any instance of him tripping or falling.
A Google search using keyframes from the clip identified the location as Bariarpur, Sitamarhi, Bihar.

Another video posted by a Sitamarhi-based news outlet on November 2, 2025, also showed Choudhary stepping out of the helicopter and greeting Sunil Kumar Pintu and other leaders—again, with no fall visible.

Further analysis of the footage showed that in several frames, the faces and movements of individuals appeared distorted—an indicator of AI manipulation. When a frame was tested on WasItAI, the tool determined with high confidence that the image, or significant portions of it, were AI-created. Another platform, AI or Not, also marked the video as “likely AI-generated.”
