Mumbai, November 12: Several social media posts are claiming that the car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, which claimed at least eight lives and left several others injured, was a “false-flag operation." However, the Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) fact-check unit has debunked the false claim circulating on social media platforms from Pakistani propaganda accounts.

The PIB Fact Check said that several Pakistani propaganda accounts have become active online, attempting to spread misinformation and create confusion in the aftermath of the incident. “Pakistani propaganda accounts have become active and are trying to create confusion by spreading misinformation claiming #DelhiBlast near the #RedFort was a false-flag operation. These claims are #FAKE and baseless. NEVER forward such messages. Stay alert, don’t let propaganda succeed," it said in a post on X. Did CDS General Anil Chauhan Accuse PM Narendra Modi of Politicising Indian Army?
