A viral video, in which Ladakh Director General of Police S.D. 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 (September 30, 2025).
It said the DGP has made no such statement.
"A digitally altered video of Ladakh DGP Dr. S.D. 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.
