PIB Exposes Fake Video Claiming Pakistan Strike on Amritsar: Labels It ‘Propaganda’

As misinformation surges following Operation Sindoor, PIB Fact Check busts yet another false narrative circulated by a Pakistan-based social media handle.

PIB Exposes Fake Video Claiming Pakistan Strike on Amritsar: Labels It ‘Propaganda’

In the wake of heightened tensions following India’s Operation Sindoor, the Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) fact-checking unit has stepped in to counter a wave of disinformation being spread online. The latest target of its scrutiny is a viral video falsely claiming that Pakistan carried out a military strike on a base in Amritsar. The PIB has firmly debunked this claim, labeling the video as “fake” and calling it a clear case of “Pakistan Propaganda Alert.”

The misleading content was posted on X (formerly Twitter) by a handle named @Shamii_awan1, which alleged that the visuals showed an active Pakistani military strike resulting in “numerous casualties” and “critical injuries” in Amritsar. However, the accompanying video depicted what was actually a wildfire from 2024 — entirely unrelated to any military action or conflict.

Taking swift action, the PIB Fact Check unit published a rebuttal on X, stating:

“Pakistan-based handles are spreading old videos falsely alleging strikes on a military base in Amritsar. #PIBFactCheck: The video being shared is from a wildfire from 2024. Avoid sharing unverified information and rely only on official sources from the Government of India for accurate information.”

This is not the first such attempt to spread falsehoods since Operation Sindoor — India’s precision strike on nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The PIB unit has been actively flagging several misleading videos and posts, which seem to be part of a broader disinformation campaign to distort the ground reality and undermine India’s counter-terror efforts.

In another instance, a video was circulated claiming that Indian soldiers were seen waving white flags at the Line of Control (LoC) to recover the bodies of fallen troops. PIB clarified that the video was not only old — dating back to September 2019 — but also misrepresented. It actually showed Pakistani soldiers raising white flags to retrieve their dead from the LoC after a skirmish, not Indian troops.

The government has appealed to citizens and media outlets to verify information from authentic sources and not fall prey to propaganda, especially when national security is involved. The proliferation of such content makes it increasingly difficult for ordinary users to distinguish between truth and fabrication, especially in a tense geopolitical climate.

As Operation Sindoor continues to unfold, the role of PIB’s Fact Check unit remains crucial in preserving public trust and combating misinformation campaigns intended to sow confusion and fear among the Indian populace.
