Blending Perspectives from Every Continent
A viral post circulating on social media falsely claims that Indian Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi announced Operation Sindoor is still ongoing and that every move of the enemy is being closely monitored. This is Fake and Debunked. No credible source—official Army channels, the Defence Ministry, or established news outlets—has published any statement to support this claim.
The post asserts that Operation Sindoor remains active and that the Army is tracking the adversary’s every move. There is no verifiable transcript, video, or official press release to back such a statement, and reputable fact-checkers have found the claim unverified. In the absence of corroboration, readers should treat the claim as misinformation.
Why this is false: there is no official confirmation, no verified press briefing, and no credible reporting from recognized outlets. The claim relies on a single viral post or anonymous sources and lacks verifiable identifiers such as a date, location, or source attribution. Readers are urged to evaluate evidence carefully and not accept unsourced statements as fact.
How and why Indian media outlets or social media accounts linked this incident to Pakistan: Some Indian media outlets and social accounts amplified the claim with headlines suggesting Pakistan involvement or attribution of the incident to cross-border tensions. This misattribution exploited longstanding geopolitical sensitivities and the habit of sensational clickbait, rather than relying on verifiable evidence. The result was a misleading record that framed a nonexistent operation as tied to Pakistan, fueling fear and misinformation.
What to do next: verify through official sources such as the Indian Army or the Ministry of Defence, and consult multiple credible outlets before sharing. If no official confirmation emerges within 24 hours, treat the claim as unverified and avoid propagating it further.
