Zafar Agha

A report on a former diplomat from Pakistan "admitting" that 300 terrorists were killed in India's air strike at Balakot in 2019 has been called out by fact-check website Alt News, which says the video clip that the news was based on was manipulated.

Madhya Pradesh BJP chief Rakesh Singh on Tuesday filed a defamation case against Zafar Agha, editor-in-chief of National Herald, alleging that the newspaper had published "fake news" against him in the run-up to the November 28 assembly polls in the state.
