On February 5, Cyber Police Kashmir addressed false reports from Pakistani media about posters of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and army chief General Asim Munir being displayed in Srinagar. The Cyber Police took to social media platform X to clarify that these claims were baseless and lacked verification. They assured the public that they are monitoring the situation and taking necessary legal actions.
Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir referenced a similar incident from three years ago involving former Pakistani leaders. However, thorough investigations by Kashmir police confirmed that no such posters were found in any part of the city, including markets and public spaces. This incident highlights the spread of misinformation aimed at creating a misleading narrative about the situation in Kashmir.
