The claim
The video shows the ADC of Leh, Ghulam Muhammad, admitting that Amit Shah’s office issued orders to arrest Sonam Wangchuk and label him a Pakistani agent.
Original review summary
The review says the circulating video was digitally altered and that the original briefing contained no claim that Wangchuk’s arrest was ordered by the Home Ministry or that he should be labelled a “Pakistani agent.” It reports that a voice-detection tool flagged the viral clip’s audio as a deepfake and that PIB Fact Check also identified it as manipulated.[S1]
Additional context
The original briefing was on 25 September 2025, the day after protests in Leh; the review says the ADC discussed injuries and deaths and urged peace. [S1]
