The government on Monday cautioned citizens against a “fake letter” circulating on social media that claims India has asked Pakistan to transfer Imran Khan to New Delhi as a political prisoner.
The Press Information Bureau’s fact-check unit said the document — styled as a “top-secret Ministry of External Affairs letter” — is entirely fabricated and is being pushed online by “several Pakistani propaganda accounts.”
“Several Pakistani propaganda accounts are circulating a letter on social media, claiming it to be a top-secret Ministry of External Affairs document that allegedly leaked online. The fabricated letter claims that the Indian Government has requested Pakistan to send Imran Khan to India as a political prisoner,” PIB said in a post, urging users not to fall for unverified content.
“This letter is fake. The claims being made in this letter are false, baseless, and part of an ongoing disinformation campaign being pushed by Pakistan against India. Do not share unverified content. Trust only official Government of India sources for accurate information,” PIB said in its fact-check post.
