The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has exposed a pro-Pakistan social media account for disseminating a deepfake video of Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, Director General of Military Operations, in an attempt to damage the reputation of the Indian Army. The PIB confirmed that the altered video falsely attributed statements regarding the politicization of the Armed Forces to General Ghai, who did not make such claims. This incident underscores a persistent trend of misinformation aimed at undermining trust in India’s military establishment, highlighting the need for vigilance against such deceptive practices. The government’s swift fact-checking response reflects its commitment to countering disinformation and protecting the integrity of the Indian Armed Forces amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges.
