A deepfake video falsely depicting Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh has been circulating on social media, claiming that India suffered significant losses during Operation Sindoor, including the loss of four Rafale jets and the disappearance of Lieutenant Shivangi Singh. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has categorically debunked these claims, labeling the video as Pakistani propaganda aimed at creating panic and misinformation among the public. The PIB emphasized that the original footage of Air Chief Marshal Singh, released on the Indian Air Force Day, showcased his commendations for the Air Force’s role in national security and contained none of the alarming assertions made in the manipulated video. Furthermore, it was highlighted that Lieutenant Shivangi Singh recently received the Qualified Flying Instructor badge, underscoring her accomplishments instead of any supposed disappearance. This incident underscores the vulnerability of public perceptions to misinformation, particularly from adversarial sources, and highlights the importance of timely fact-checking to maintain public trust in the armed forces and government. The rapid spread of such disinformation could undermine morale and security perceptions, thus necessitating robust counter-narratives from official channels to safeguard national interests.
