An Indian news outlet, The Hindu, is facing public criticism after it reportedly deleted a news article and a tweet about the crash of three Indian Air Force jets. The crashes were said to have taken place in the Jammu and Kashmir regions of Akhnoor, Ramban, and Pampore.
According to initial reports, the crashes happened shortly after India launched its cross-border military action called “Operation Sindoor.” While the original news confirmed the loss of aircraft, the article and tweet were later removed from the publication’s website and social media, raising questions and drawing attention on both mainstream and social platforms.
The deletion of the news post has sparked conversations online, with users accusing the outlet of hiding important information. Some believe this may be due to pressure or censorship, while others say it might have been taken down for verification purposes.
Despite the lack of an official statement from the Indian government or military confirming the incident, reports and social media posts continue to circulate. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s media has highlighted the claim, adding that the jets may have been brought down as part of defensive measures in response to India’s recent military activity.
This event has added to the already tense environment between the two countries. Analysts say incidents like this increase the risk of miscommunication and escalation, urging both sides to handle the situation carefully.
So far, there has been no official comment from The Hindu explaining the deletion of their report.
