The Indian Armed Forces have categorically rejected claims regarding a leaked report detailing the identities and backgrounds of terrorists involved in the recent attack in Pahalgam. The military’s official stance comes in response to a document that has been widely circulated across various media and social media platforms. This document purports to provide insights into the attackers, suggesting it is an official report attributed to the Indian Armed Forces.
In a public statement, the Ministry of Defence clarified that the circulated report is unauthorized and has not been validated by any official military communication channels. They emphasized that no document or statement of that nature has been disseminated by either authorized military spokespersons or the Armed Forces Public Relations Offices.
The ministry further cautioned that the content of the alleged report seems to be a compilation based on open-source information and lacks any official endorsement. The Armed Forces have urged the public and media representatives to refrain from sharing unverified material and to depend exclusively on credible sources for information concerning security operations.
This development underscores the need for vigilance regarding the authenticity of information disseminated online, especially in contexts of national security. The Armed Forces’ proactive stance aims to mitigate the risks of misinformation which could inadvertently impact public perceptions and security measures.
