ISLAMABAD – A fact-check exposed that social media account run by Indian military’s Lucknow office circulated misleading claims suggesting a terrorist attack in Delhi.
In reality, several Indian media reports confirmed the incident was caused by a cylinder explosion. The fact-check found that the military-linked account has been spreading unverified rumors and attempting to assign blame without evidence.

The misleading posts come amid political controversy, with India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) facing criticism over alleged vote manipulation in the Bihar elections. Some media outlets reportedly prepared narratives implicating Pakistan, fueling speculation.
Some claims suggested false-flag explosion in Delhi, allegedly orchestrated by R&AW, as part of a slower strategy to pin responsibility on Pakistan—unlike the swift allegations seen during the Pahalgam case.
A widely circulated post stated that the blast occurred shortly after major counter-terror operations in Faridabad, NCR, and Jammu & Kashmir, implying hurried action by unknown actors. Authorities have clarified that investigations are ongoing and the true cause will be determined officially.
Delhi explosion seems to be an accident, and claims linking it to terrorism or international conspiracies are nothing new. Readers are urged to rely on verified reports from official sources.
