A viral video clip and multiple media reports claimed that former Tourism Minister and Unified Socialist MP Prem Ale used obscene language during a House of Representatives session on April 28, 2025. From content creators to major outlets like Kantipur, the claim spread quickly. But does the evidence support it?

In this fact-check episode, we analyze the original parliamentary video using slow playback and AI transcription tools from Google — including NotebookLM and AI Studio. Our findings confirm that the word used was "munche" (मान्छे) — meaning "person" — not a vulgar term as alleged. We break down how media misinterpretation and social media amplification contributed to the spread of misleading information.
