In a shocking revelation, India’s media has been caught spreading false claims against Pakistani citizens, attempting to link them with terrorism in the run-up to Bihar’s state elections.
According to Express News ,the fabricated story, circulated on 28 August 2025, alleged that three Pakistani nationals — Hasnain Ali, Adil Hussain, and Muhammad Usman — entered Bihar via Nepal with malicious intentions.
Indian outlets, reportedly under “RAW” influence, portrayed the three Pakistanis as terrorists and issued red alerts. The claims immediately grabbed headlines, sparking outrage and panic. However, careful investigation and official statements from the individuals involved reveal a completely different story.
Pakistani Citizens Speak
- Hasnain Ali (Rawalpindi) explained he traveled from Dubai to Nepal on 10 August 2025, stayed in Kathmandu for 18 days at Yambu Hotel, and then flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 28 August. He clarified his trip was purely for employment in Cambodia, not political or militant activity.
- Muhammad Usman (Bahawalpur) traveled from Dubai to Kathmandu on 8 August, then to Kuala Lumpur on 15 August, and reached Cambodia via Bangkok on 19 August. He works at a call center in Cambodia and said his Nepal stop was only for NOC processing.
- Adil Hussain (Mirpur Khas) arrived in Kathmandu on 8 August, stayed six days, and traveled to Malaysia on 15 August, reaching Cambodia on 27 August. He confirmed his Nepal stay was for tourism purposes, and he has no links to Bihar or terrorism.
A Clear Propaganda Agenda
Evidence and testimonies show that Indian media deliberately misrepresented the Pakistani citizens to portray them as threats — a tactic often used in previous “false flag” narratives. Analysts suggest this propaganda is aimed at rallying anti-Pakistan sentiment ahead of elections in Bihar.
International Implications
The incident exposes how misinformation can be weaponized for political gain, damaging both diplomatic relations and media credibility. Pakistani citizens’ statements and travel records conclusively refute all allegations, proving that these citizens were never involved in any terrorist activity.
This episode once again highlights India’s use of fabricated narratives to malign Pakistan — tactics that only end in international embarrassment when exposed.
