The video appears to paraphrase a real Supreme Court judgment about Afzal Guru, but it mixes up wording and leaves out the court’s broader reasoning.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
Accurate (92% confidence): The Supreme Court said there was no direct evidence of a conspiracy involving Afzal Guru. In the Supreme Court judgment in State (NCT of Delhi) v. Navjot Sandhu, the court stated that in conspiracies there may be no direct evidence, and it discussed circumstantial evidence supporting conviction.
Accurate (90% confidence): The judgment said the collective conscience of society would be satisfied by punishing the offender. The judgment includes language that the 'collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied' by awarding capital punishment, but the clip’s wording is not exact.
False (86% confidence): The transcript accurately reproduces the Supreme Court’s exact wording. The official judgment uses 'collective conscience' language and different phrasing from the transcript.
