The later video's captions have not yet been checked against its audio, so their detailed statements about remittances, purchases and places have not been adopted as new facts. Mahinder Singh, son of Kesar Singh, son of Bisan Singh, is named as a contributor to the family account, but no dated statement or claim-specific attribution has been identified. 9, 27
