5 Sikh Soldiers Killed in Clash With Hindu BSF troops in Jammu and Kashmir? In view of the rising tensions between India and Pakistan over Pahalgam attack, a news is being circulated on social media that a heated argument between Hindu soldiers of 185 BSF and Sikh troops of 15 Sikh LI (Light Infantry) in the Chinar Corps escalated into an exchange of gunfire, leaving 5 Sikh soldiers dead. What is the truth behind this?

The news reads: "BREAKING: 5 Sikh Soldiers of 15 Sikh LI Killed in Clash with BSF Troops. In a tragic incident, a heated argument between Hindu soldiers of 185 BSF and Sikh troops of 15 Sikh LI (Light Infantry) in the Chinar Corps escalated into an exchange of gunfire, leaving 5 Sikh soldiers (4 from Haryana, 1 from Amritsar).

At the time of publishing this news article, there has been no authenticated information suggesting that the claims made in this piece is true. Besides, the news information has only been spread through WhatsApp groups, social media handles and news portals that belong to Pakistan. 

Considering India and Pakistan are almost up against each other in a proxy war, it is being considered as Pakistan's move to spread misinformation and ignite a fight within the country. 

As of now, the news is considered baseless as neither the Indian authorities have confirmed the same nor any news portal has confirmed the same through their sources. 

In the meantime, the Indian security agencies have been asking the Indians not to fall prey to the victim of misinformation. Cyber Police Kashmir also warned against spreading misinformation. "The Cyber Police Kashmir has cautioned the public against sharing fake or doubtful information on social media, stating that such actions can mislead the general public. Users are advised to exercise caution and refrain from posting unverified content. Violators will face legal action as per the law," it stated.
