The “fake” letter claimed to be an official communication from General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff, to General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff.
The Press Information Bureau on Monday issued a strict warning to social media users against pro-Pakistan X handles that have been circulating claims of a “leaked” communication letter between senior Indian Army officials.
The “fake” letter claimed to be an official communication from General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff, to General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff.
“Pro-Pakistan X accounts are sharing a fake letter claiming to be an official communication from General Upendra Dwivedi to General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff,” the PIB Fact Check wrote in an X post, debunking the fake pro-Pakistan narrative.

Notably, the letter was widely shared by Pakistani X handles, which appeared to mock the confidentiality of Indian Army communications. However, no such letter was ever written.
Last month, the government debunked another pro-Pakistan narrative on social media, where Islamabad-based X users shared “leaked” confidential documents regarding the Indian Army’s preparedness following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
In a post on X, PIB Fact Check dismissed the allegations, labelling the documents as “fake”.
“Pro-Pakistan social media accounts are falsely claiming that confidential documents related to the preparedness of the #IndianArmy have been leaked. #PIBFactCheck These documents are #FAKE,” PIB Fact Check wrote in an X post.
