During our investigation, we first decided to scrutinize the official Twitter account of the Additional Directorate General of Public Information for the Indian Army. In the course of this examination, we stumbled upon a tweet dated September 19, 2023. In this tweet, the ADG PI shared a screenshot of a post made by Parkash Kumar Bheel, also known as Dalit Official, and promptly addressed the matter. They unequivocally clarified that the claims made by Parkash Kumar Bheel were entirely baseless and false.

In a powerful response to the controversial post made by Parkash Kumar Bheel, also recognized as Dalit Official, PIB Fact Check swiftly moved to debunk the claims put forth.
