In a dramatic shake-up within the Indian Army, 18 Sikh soldiers have been arrested after reportedly accusing the government of staging the deadly Pahalgam attack to smear Pakistan.
The soldiers belonging to Chinar Corps , allegedly refused to join follow-up military operations and posted explosive claims on social media, calling the April 22 incident a “false flag.” Now facing court-martial, their defiance has sent shockwaves through military and political circles alike.
Adding fuel to the fire, a junior doctor in Dehradun is also facing legal action after allegedly celebrating the attack by distributing sweets in a hospital the very next day.
The Modi government has launched a crackdown, viewing the dissent as both insubordination and a threat to the state’s narrative.
