A fake video of Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, created using AI, falsely claimed he offered condolences for climate activist Sonam Wangchuk’s alleged custodial death. Pakistan-based propaganda accounts circulated the clip. The Press Information Bureau confirmed the video’s alteration, emphasizing the Army chief made no such statement and urging citizens to verify information. Sonam Wangchuk and Upendra Dwivedi (Images/Agencies) NEW DELHI: A digitally manipulated video of Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi was circulated online by a Pakistan-based propaganda handle on Thursday. The fake clip falsely claimed that he had issued a statement about the alleged custodial death of detained Ladakh climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.The Press Information Bureau’s fact-check unit verified that the clip was fake and digitally altered using artificial intelligence technology. It emphasised that the Army chief has made no such remarks and urged citizens not to share unverified content intended to spread misinformation and undermine faith in the Indian Armed Forces.According to the fake post shared by the Pakistan-based account, it read: “Following the custodial death of Sonam Wangchuk, Indian Army chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi offered condolences, now being suppressed by media. Even the Army seems exhausted by Hindutva fascists forcing their own agenda.”In the fabricated clip, General Dwivedi could be heard saying: “I express my deep regret at the passing of Sonam Wangchuk while he was in state custody. His death has caused understandable concern among citizens across Ladakh and the rest of the country. As Chief of General Staff, I extend my condolences to his family and to all who knew him. Every life lost under detention demands clarity and accountability. I have requested the central government to conduct a thorough and transparent inquiry. All facts must be verified so that confidence in our institutions remains intact. May his family find strength during this difficult time.”However, fact-checkers confirmed that the original speech was completely unrelated. The authentic video was posted by news agency PTI on the same day and showed General Dwivedi addressing the Chanakya Defence Dialogue 2025.In the original video, Dwivedi stated: “The military is shedding inhibitions, opening ranges, funding startups, and joining national technology missions to strengthen this troika transformation even further.”The PIB warned that such content is created to intentionally spread false narratives and urged social media users to rely only on official and credible sources for accurate information.Wangchuk was detained on September 26, two days after violent protests in Leh demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh that left four people dead and over 90 injured.Authorities have accused him of inciting the unrest. He was shifted to a jail in Jodhpur, Rajasthan and booked under the National Security Act (NSA), which allows preventive detention for up to 12 months in cases deemed a threat to national security.On November 23, the Leh Apex Body (LAB), a group leading the agitation submitted a draft proposal to the home ministry, calling a “general amnesty” for Wangchuk and others detained over the September 24 violence a key condition for continued talks with the Centre.The document argued that releasing detainees would help “restore peace and build confidence” in Ladakh.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

A war of words erupted between Congress and BJP after former MP Kumar Ketkar alleged US and Israeli intelligence agencies meddled in the 2014 elections. BJP MP Sambit Patra countered, attributing BJP’s victories to public support and accusing Congress of following Pakistan’s ISI agenda. NEW DELHI: Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party engaged in war of words after the grand old party’s former MP claimed meddling by US and Israel intelligence agencies in the 2014 Parliamentary elections. Kumar Ketkar blamed Mossad and CIA for the Congress party’s loss.BJP MP Sambit Patra, in turn, quipped saying that the Congress lost because “Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI” carried forward its “agenda in India”.Here’s what former Congress MP saidThe former Rajya Sabha MP noted that the party secured 145 Lok Sabha seats in 2004 and increased its tally to 206 in the 2009 general election. If that trajectory had continued, he argued, the Congress might have reached around 250 seats and easily held on to power. Instead, the party’s seat count plunged to 44 in 2014, he observed.”There were organisations that acted in a way that ’till the time we do not bring down the Congress from 206, we would not be able to play games here (in India),” he said.”One of the organisations was the CIA and another was the Mossad of Israel. Both had decided that they had to do something in India. If a stable Congress government or a Congress-led alliance government came back to power again, they would not have been able to interfere in India and implement their policies,” he added.”The Mossad prepared detailed data on states and constituencies. The CIA and the Mossad have detailed data on states and constituencies,” the former journalist said.What BJP saidThe BJP countered Congress leader Ketkar’s allegation, insisting that its victories come from the support of “the people, not foreign intelligence agencies”.”Neither the CIA nor the Mossad makes the BJP win. It is the people who make the BJP win. Those who get gas cylinders and housing, as well as the poor, farmers, women and youth, make the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win,” he said.”If you will work on the ISI’s blueprint, seek to reconstruct the Babri mosque, oppose Ram temple… If the Congress follows the ISI agenda, how will it progress?” the BJP leader told reporters at the party headquarters,” he added.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
