Fact checkers have noted Agnihotri to have sharedmisleading contentfrom hisTwitteraccount.[71][72]In September 2018, Agnihotri tweeted a listicle claiming that a survey from theBBCfound that theIndian National Congresswas the second most corrupt party in the world.

Vivek Agnihotri and his team, includingPallavi JoshiandAbhishek Agarwal,had issued alegal noticetoMamata Banerjee,theChief Minister of West Bengal.The notice had demanded the retraction of her comments that had labeled their film 'The Kashmir Files' as falsepropagandaaimed at humiliating a particular group.
