Executive Summary
A fabricated graphic designed to look like a Dainik Jagran postcard is viral on social media. The viral post claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a statement regarding his father, alleging that he was part of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's army and spied against the British. The post further claims that his father later surrendered on Mahatma Gandhi's advice and became a Gandhian. Research by the CyberPeace Research Wing has revealed that this claim is entirely fake and misleading. There is no record or evidence of PM Modi ever making such a statement, and the viral postcard has been digitally altered.
The Claim
An Instagram user shared the viral graphic claiming that PM Modi stated his father was associated with Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's army, worked as a spy against the British, and later surrendered on Mahatma Gandhi's advice to become a follower of his ideology. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZ7BAHdP5u , https://archive.ph/wip/7ajAK
Fact Check
A thorough Google keyword search was conducted using relevant terms, but no credible news reports or official sources were found to back up the viral claim.
During the research, the original, authentic postcard published by Dainik Jagran was located. The original post actually quoted PM Modi speaking about India's startup ecosystem. Today, 21st-century India is going through a massive phase of transformation. A startup revolution is taking place in India today. In this revolution, the youth of India, with a fresh mindset, are finding solutions to problems for the welfare of humanity." https://www.instagram.com/p/DZkRUY2n2hi/
Conclusion
The research confirms that Prime Minister Narendra Modi never made any statement linking his father to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose or Mahatma Gandhi's surrender advice. The viral image circulating on social media is morphed and edited to spread misinformation.
A video clip of journalist Palki Sharma is being widely shared on social media. Along with the video, it is being claimed that during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent Middle East visit, she questioned Jordan’s diplomatic protocol.
In the viral clip, Palki Sharma is allegedly seen asking why Jordan’s King Abdullah II did not come to the airport to receive Prime Minister Modi, and whether this indicated a downgrade in the level of welcome.
However, an investigation by the Cyber Peace Foundation found this claim to be misleading. The probe revealed that while the visuals in the viral video are genuine, the audio has been altered using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
On the social media platform ‘X’, a user named “Ammar Solangi” shared this video on 18 December. The post claimed that the video was related to questions raised about Jordan’s diplomatic protocol during Prime Minister Modi’s visit. According to the post, Palki Sharma questioned why King Abdullah II did not receive Prime Minister Modi at the airport. The archive link of the viral post can be seen here: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/26aK0
Verification
During the investigation, the fact-check desk noticed the ‘Firstpost’ logo in the top-left corner of the viral video. Based on this clue, a customized Google search was conducted, which led to the original news report.
The investigation revealed that the viral video was taken from an episode of journalist Palki Sharma’s show “Vantage with Palki Sharma”, which aired on 17 December.
Analysis of the video showed that the visuals appearing at the 33 minutes 30 seconds timestamp in the original report exactly match those used in the viral clip. However, in the original broadcast, Palki Sharma neither questioned Jordan’s protocol nor made any comment about King Abdullah II not being present at the airport.
In the original video, Palki Sharma says:
“Prime Minister Modi was on a diplomatic tour of Jordan, Ethiopia, and Oman, and in Jordan he was received at the airport by the country’s Prime Minister…” The link to the original report can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VYZYe9l6Bs
AI Audio Examination
Further investigation involved separating the audio from the viral video and analyzing it using the AI voice detection tool ‘Resemble AI’. The tool’s results confirmed that fake, AI-generated audio had been added over the real footage in the viral clip to spread a misleading claim. A screenshot of the results from this examination can be seen below.
Conclusion
The video being circulated in the name of journalist Palki Sharma has been tampered with. Her voice has been altered using AI technology, and the claim made regarding the Jordan visit is completely misleading.
Executive Summary
A photo of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is being widely shared on social media with the claim that she is pregnant again. In the viral image, Kareena appears with a visible baby bump, leading users to speculate about another pregnancy. However, research by the CyberPeace Research Wing found the claim to be misleading. The research revealed that the image is not recent and is actually from 2020, now being reshared with a false narrative.
Claim:
An Instagram user shared the viral image on April 18, 2026, and posted a caption jokingly suggesting that after Taimur and Jehangir, Kareena was expecting more children.
Fact Check:
To verify the claim, relevant keyword searches were conducted online, but no credible media report was found supporting the claim that Kareena Kapoor Khan is currently pregnant. A reverse search of the viral visual led to an older video uploaded on the YouTube channel Bol Bollywood on December 7, 2020, where the same image was used.
Further research also found a similar video report on the YouTube channel Bollywood Bluff, published on December 8, 2020, featuring the same visual and similar claims. These findings confirmed that the viral image is several years old and unrelated to any recent development.
Conclusion:
The claim that Kareena Kapoor Khan is pregnant again is misleading. The viral photo is not recent but an old image from 2020 that is being circulated with a false claim.
