FIB fact check has posted this video and announced that this is an AI generated video which has been posted by a verified account named ‘Abubakar Qussam’ on social media platform X. 

FIB on X wrote, “A doctored video showing EAM DrSJShankar apologizing is circulating online. The video is AI-generated and part of false propaganda. Stay alert. Don't fall for misinformation.” 

In another instance of misinformation, an old video of an Indian Air Force (IAF) crash is being falsely circulated in the context of current India-Pakistan tensions. The footage is actually from a routine training sortie involving a Jaguar aircraft in Ambala in March 2025 and is unrelated to the ongoing situation.
