A video promoting medicine for Prostatitis, purportedly developed by scientists from America and France and available at a 50% discount, is being widely shared on social media. The video shows Dr. Gaurav Gangwani endorsing the product, and the post includes a link to a website selling the medicine. In this article, we aim to verify the authenticity of the video shared in the post.
Claim: Video showing Dr. Gaurav Gangwani endorsing medicine for Prostatitis.
Fact: This website offering medicines for Prostatitis is fraudulent. The video showing Dr. Gaurav Gangwani endorsing medicine for Prostatitis is digitally created by overlaying a different audio onto a video of Dr. Gangwani explaining the grades or stages of Varicocele. We could not find any video on his social media platforms promoting medicine for Prostatitis, purportedly developed by scientists from America and France. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
The viral video identifies the individual showcased as Dr. Gaurav Gangwani; a Urologist purportedly affiliated with the Health Ministry. Upon conducting an online search, we found a doctor named Gaurav Gangwani, who self-identifies as an Interventional Radiologist and is affiliated with Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on his social media profiles.
On his YouTube channel titled ‘Dr. Gangwani’s Vascular Clinic’, he offers insights into minimally invasive options for various conditions such as breast fibroadenomas, thyroid nodules, varicocele, varicose veins, enlarged prostates, uterine fibroids, gangrene, and other ailments. He aims to provide alternatives to surgery for these conditions.
Nevertheless, we could not find any video on his social media platforms promoting medicine for Prostatitis, purportedly developed by scientists from America and France, as asserted in the viral video. Furthermore, it seems that the audio in the viral video does not synchronize with the doctor’s lip movements.
Upon further search, we discovered a video featuring Dr. Gangwani explaining the grades or stages of Varicocele. The viral video may have been created by digitally editing this footage, and overlaying a different audio onto the original content. The gestures of the doctor in this video match with those observed in the viral video.
Furthermore, the domain of the website provided in the post was registered in Iceland on 17 January 2024 and is set to expire within a year. This timeframe suggests that the website may be fraudulent, and intended for fraudulent activities.
Earlier, a video of Dr. Gangwani was digitally altered similarly portraying him endorsing a medicine for Varicose Veins. When the video gained widespread attention, Dr. Gangwani explicitly stated that he had no connection with the sale and that the video had been digitally manipulated.
Additionally, we have contacted Dr. Gangwani for clarification regarding the recent viral video, and any updates based on his response will be updated in this fact-check.
To sum it up, this video depicting Dr. Gangwani endorsing medicine for Prostatitis has been digitally manipulated.
