A fake graphic claims that Hindi news channel News24 carried predictions from different satta bazaars (illegal betting markets) showing a close knit race between the Congress-led I.N.D.I.A bloc and the BJP-led NDA coalition, posing a challenge to the BJP's previous claims of winning over 400 seats in the election. Fact-checking platform BOOM found that the channel did not carry any such report. News24 executive editor Manak Gupta also took to X to clarify that the graphic is fake.
