ARYA BHARATVANSHI on Instagram: "Former MHA Under Secretary R.V.S. Mani has alleged in an ANI interview that the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks (26/11) were a “fixed match” between elements in the Congress establishment and Pakistan’s ISI.
He claims deliberate delays in NSG deployment, ignored Coast Guard warnings, and attempts to frame it as “Hindu terror” — which failed only because Ajmal Kasab was caught alive. Mani says this involved manipulation of narratives, evidence, and state machinery for political gain.
These grave charges question the integrity of institutions and demand a full, impartial investigation, accountability, and answers from Congress — beyond mere political debates.

Verdict: The clip mixes a few documented facts with major unsupported and conspiratorial claims.
Some details about 26/11 and related cases are real, but the central allegation that Congress and Pakistan’s ISI ran a “fixed match” is not supported by public evidence.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
Accurate (98% confidence): Ajmal Kasab was the only 26/11 attacker captured alive. Britannica and CNN both describe Kasab as the sole surviving/captured attacker from the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Accurate (96% confidence): The 2008 Mumbai attacks killed 166 people. Standard references on the attacks report 166 fatalities.
False (90% confidence): 26/11 was a “fixed match” between the Congress establishment and Pakistan’s ISI. Public reporting and official accounts of 26/11 identify the attack as a Pakistan-based terrorist operation; they do not support a Congress-ISI conspiracy.
Unsupported (78% confidence): If Kasab had not been caught alive, the attacks would have been framed as a Hindu terror attack. There is no way to verify an alternate-history claim like this; it is speculation about motive and political narrative.
Unsupported (72% confidence): The Samjhauta Express case was part of an attempt to brand the attacks as Hindu terror. The Samjhauta Express bombings were a real terror case, and later court outcomes were contested, but the clip’s claim about deliberate framing is not proven here.
Accurate (71% confidence): In the Ishrat Jahan case, investigators originally said Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were targets. Media reports show the case was politically contested, and Amit Shah later received a clean chit from the CBI; the clip’s wording omits that the targets allegation was disputed and not settled as fact.
Unsupported (84% confidence): Prasad Purohit was incarcerated for political reasons and was blocked from becoming a Corps Commander or Chief of Army Staff. There is no reliable public evidence proving the motive or the career trajectory claim; it is conjecture about an alternate future.
Unsupported (62% confidence): There were no files in the internal security division using the term “Hindu terror” before 2010. I found no authoritative public record that can confirm or refute the status of all internal files in that division.
