Indian Army Brigadier K. Joshi
Recently, a claim has been circulating on social media stating that a retired Indian Army Brigadier K. Joshi was shot dead by unknown men in Dehradun. According to the claim, the officer was targeted because he was a supporter of Israel and was involved in sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan.
Sharing the video Pakistani propaganda handle Zard si Gana wrote, ”United States has officially confirms it will not support India in upcoming wars against Pakistan because of Pakistan’s recent growing global influence, which is also saving USA from defeat by Iran. Russia, China, USA have distanced themselves from India.”
Another handle Anushi Tiwari asserted, ”Brigadier(R) V.K. Joshi has been killed, He had reportedly been receiving threats, & several of our retired army officers are facing similar death threats. The enemy has infiltrated our homes in #India. Congress is the only party that can stand up to #Pakistan.”
