A viral video, in which Ladakh Director General of Police SD Singh is seen claiming that activist Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on directions of the Defence Minister, is deepfake, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) said on Tuesday.

“A digitally altered video of Ladakh DGP Dr SD Singh is circulating on social media, in which he is shown making claims that Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on directions of the defence minister, without any evidence,” the PIB’s Fact Check unit said.

“Beware of such AI-generated videos shared with the intent to mislead public and cause confusion and panic,” it said.

The PIB Fact Check unit further advised people to stay vigilant, always verify content before sharing, and help curb the spread of misinformation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
