Government busts fake video of President Murmu

India Nov 27, 2025

A deepfake video falsely showing President Droupadi Murmu making controversial statements started circulating online, mainly from Pakistan-based accounts.
The government quickly called it out as fake, clarifying that President Murmu never said those things and urging everyone not to fall for misleading content.

What the government is doing (and what you can do)

The X account behind the video, Baba Thoka, has already been blocked for spreading misinformation.
Officials are reminding people to double-check anything suspicious before sharing it—especially with deepfakes getting more convincing.
If you spot something fishy online, reporting it helps stop fake news from spreading further.
