Did Piyush Goyal Say ‘Do Teen Cockroach Ko Sare Aam Latka Dena Chahiye’? Here’s the Truth Behind the Viral Video

New Delhi, July 25: A video purportedly showing Union Minister Piyush Goyal making inflammatory remarks against the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has gone viral on social media, with users claiming he said, 'Humein do teen cockroach ko sare aam latka dena chahiye jisse CJP ko andaza ho sake ki ham kis had tak ja sakte hain.' However, an investigation by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check and later a post by Piyush Goyal himself has confirmed that the video is fake and has been manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI).

According to PIB Fact Check, the viral clip is doctored and is being circulated by Pakistan-backed propaganda social media accounts with the alleged intent of misleading people and inciting unrest amid the ongoing student protests in Delhi. The agency urged the public not to trust or share the fabricated video without verification. Piyush Goyal Files Police Complaint Over Viral Deepfake Video in Delhi.

The minister further informed that he had filed a police complaint, following which FIR No. 123/26 was registered at Chanakyapuri Police Station at 4:35 AM on July 25, 2026. He warned that strict legal action would be taken against everyone involved in creating, circulating or amplifying the fake video.

Goyal also appealed to citizens to rely only on verified and authentic sources for information and expressed confidence that India's tech-savvy citizens, particularly the youth, would not fall for such misinformation.

The PIB clarified that in his actual interaction with the media, Piyush Goyal spoke about the Centre's action against those involved in paper leak cases, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi had already directed strict legal action and that fast-track courts would be set up to ensure speedy punishment for the accused.

Verdict: False. The viral video claiming Piyush Goyal said 'do teen cockroach ko sare aam latka dena chahiye' is an AI-generated deepfake. Both PIB Fact Check and the Union Minister have confirmed that the clip is manipulated and does not reflect his actual remarks.

Claim :

Conclusion :

False. PIB and Piyush Goyal confirmed the video is an AI-generated deepfake. An FIR has been registered over the doctored clip.
