Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in May 2025, several Pakistani media outlets had falsely claimed that Squadron Leader Shivangi Singh was captured by enemy forces. However, those reports were quickly debunked. Now, the claims stand completely disproven as President Droupadi Murmu posed with the IAF officer on Wednesday during her Rafale sortie at the Ambala Air Force Base.
According to an IANS report, while the conflict between India and Pakistan was ongoing, the Pakistan-based social media handles chipped in to peddle a false agenda. Many handles fabricated a story of the capture of the IAF officer and also shared fake images across various platforms. Gulf-based channels also reported this fake propaganda, only to issue a clarification later.
