Overview

  • FIR 148 was registered at Police Station Leh under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 353(2) and 356 and IT Act sections 66C and 66D.
  • PIB Fact Check confirmed the clip is a deepfake that falsely portrays DGP S D Singh Jamwal as saying Sonam Wangchuk was arrested on the defence minister’s directions.
  • Leh police said the manipulated video, circulated on X, was created with malicious intent and could disturb peace and harmony.
  • Investigators are working to trace the creators and distributors, while urging the public to verify content and report misleading posts to Cyber Cell Leh.
  • The case follows Wangchuk’s September 26 arrest after deadly protests, and PIB also debunked a separate AI-fabricated video falsely attributing claims to ADC Leh.
