X account operating under the handle “Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0” and related variants have, over the last few years, repeatedly spread misleading, fabricated and defamatory content targeting India’s institutions, the Prime Minister, the armed forces and specific communities. Several of these posts have since been debunked by fact‑checkers or contradicted by longer, original footage; the handle Nimo Yadav 2.0 has now been withheld in India following a legal demand, as shown in the screenshot of the account’s status.
This came after the handle posted a defamatory post on the Indian Armed Forces bodyshaming our officers.
In March 2026, the account shared a group photograph of Indian and foreign military officers and captioned it:
“This is what happens when you ban eggs in mid‑day meals.”
Following the ban, he posted a video on his Instagram handle asking people to support him.

Let us now take a look at the lies and fake news the handle has spread over time.
Lying About the Darbhanga Abuse Case
In August 2025, at a Congress rally in Darbhanga, Bihar, a man used abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the party’s stage. To protect Congress from the fallout, Nimo posted a collage claiming that the abuser was in fact a BJP worker, circulating a photograph of a man wearing a saffron scarf and suggesting both images showed the same person.
Subsequent verification showed that the person in the saffron‑scarf image was Nek Mohammad Rizvi from Madhya Pradesh, unrelated to the Darbhanga incident. Rizvi filed a police case over the misuse of his photograph. The allegation that the abuser was a BJP worker was baseless.
Fabricating a Story around the Gorakhpur “chicken bone” Incident
In August 2025 in Gorakhpur, a real incident occurred where a bone was found in the food at a restaurant. Local TV carried a 14‑minute video from the restaurant showing the argument and the bone itself. Nimo, however, constructed an elaborate fictional story: he claimed that Ujjawal Singh, a “jobless Sanghi Rajput”, had planted the bone in his vegetarian plate to skip paying the bill and used this fabricated anecdote to attack both the man and the wider Rajput community.
The longer video record clearly contradicted Nimo’s version: there was an actual bone in the dish, and no evidence of a staged scam. The post smeared a named individual and communalised the issue.
Framing a Maharashtra Religious Procession as a Rajasthan Aravalli Protest
In December 2025, Nimo shared a video of a massive crowd with the caption: “These are the farmers of Rajasthan protesting against BJP govt to Save Aravali Hills. Trust me, No media is covering this.”
Fact‑checks showed the clip was actually from Buldhana, Maharashtra, depicting a Gajanan Maharaj palkhi procession, not any Aravalli environmental protest. The post was a straightforward attempt to manufacture an anti‑BJP agitation where none existed.
Fake Narrative About Japan’s PM and US tariffs
Nimo also used foreign politics as a prop. In one tweet, he attributed a quote to Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, claiming he resigned because the US imposed a 15% tariff on Japanese imports and he “failed” as PM, and then contrasted this with an invented claim that the US had imposed a 50% tariff on India while Modi campaigned in Bihar.
In reality, the Japanese PM’s resignation was tied to domestic electoral setbacks and internal party dynamics, not US tariffs, and there was no such 50% tariff episode on India matching the narrative. The quote attributed to Ishiba is not found in credible records; it is a fabricated contrast designed to demean India’s PM.
Misrepresenting the Nitin Nabin–Modi clip
Another viral post from Nimo showed BJP president Nitin Nabin and Narendra Modi at a function, with the caption claiming that Nabin “mistakenly came in between Modi and his camera frame” and that Modi “pushed his boss from the frame so hard,” mocking their relationship.
Full video from the event shows the opposite: Modi was guiding Nabin forward to offer flowers at the statues of Syama Prasad Mukherjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya. The clip Nimo used was selectively edited and falsely captioned to portray an insult where none existed.
Teleprompter lie and age‑based smears
Nimo and its related handle (“Dr Nimo Yadav Commentary”) have repeatedly pushed the line that Narendra Modi is mentally unfit or senile. One post claimed Modi stopped his speech during a rally because the teleprompter failed, using it to argue that he is dependent and unfit to lead. Another suggested that age is “catching up” with Modi because he allegedly forgot what he was about to say, concluding “it’s time for Narendra Modi to hang up his boots.”
Reports and fuller footage from the teleprompter episode show that he paused due to loud “Modi, Modi” chants from the audience, not because of a malfunction. The posts rely on half-truths and mockery, not fact.
Weaponising Cricket and Inventing Political Motives
Nimo also repeatedly tried to inject political motives into cricket:
In one post, he claimed that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli deliberately lost a match against New Zealand as a symbolic protest against the BJP government over the Indore water contamination incident, thanking them for “showing spine”. There is zero evidence that Team India threw a match as political protest; it is fantasy packaged as insider information.
In another, he spun a routine, friendly on‑field interaction between Rohit Sharma and Wasim Akram into a story of “GCs” (general category Hindus) uniting against Modi and “breaking rules” in protest over a UGC move, implying that players were part of some caste‑political rebellion.
These are not just bad takes; they ascribe seditious or communal intent to Indian players without proof, risking backlash and social tension.
Serial “Turncoat” Persona and Identity Faking
Last but not the least, he kept changing his profession and his religion at the drop of the hat. Here is a collage of all his claims. Some old replies from one of his handles shows Nimo repeatedly claiming mutually contradictory identities:
- “I am a farmer…”
- “I am a doctor myself…”
- “I am a staunch Hindu…”
- “I am a Muslim…”
- “I am a Christian…”
- “I am a Brahmin…”
- “I am a tribal too…”
- “I am a mechanical engineer…”
This is not normal political rhetoric; it is deliberate identity‑shifting to infiltrate different conversations and pose as “one of us” to multiple communities at once. It shows that deception is a core method, not an accident.
Congress and its supporters crying on social media and giving press meets that these handles were banned in India because they spoke “truth” are misleading themselves. This is not censorship out of nowhere; it is the predictable outcome of an account that treated disinformation and defamation as a full‑time job.
