The Government has debunked a video message being circulated on social media channels claiming that the Director General of Police, Ladakh, Dr S.D. Singh is making claims that Sonam Wangchuk was arrested at the direction of the Indian Defence Minister without any evidence. The Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau, in a social media post, informed that DGP Ladakh has made no such statement.
PIB has urged people to beware of such AI-generated videos shared with the intent to mislead the public and cause confusion and panic. It further advised citizens to stay vigilant and verify content before sharing to avoid the spread of misinformation.
