The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has clarified that a viral video of Ladakh DGP S. D. Singh is fake. In the video, Singh is shown saying that activist Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on the defence minister’s orders. PIB said the clip is digitally altered and the DGP never made such a statement.
“A digitally altered video of Ladakh DGP Dr S D Singh is circulating on social media, in which he is shown making claims that Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on directions of the defence minister, without any evidence,” PIB’s Fact Check unit said.
"Beware of such AI-generated videos shared with the intent to mislead public and cause confusion and panic," it said.
The unit also urged people to stay alert, verify information before sharing, and help stop the spread of misinformation.
