Fake clip: Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi never sought ‘Operation Sindoor 2’

WEB DESK: A clip circulating online claims Noreen Niazi, sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, requested Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to launch “Operation Sindoor 2” during an interview with India Today. This claim is false.

The clip, shared widely on social media, has been manipulated using artificial intelligence to replace Niazi’s actual statements with fabricated audio. A review of the full 25-minute interview confirms she made no such request. Independent analysis by digital forensics experts identified clear discrepancies, noting an unnatural shift in voice pitch and a detectable Indian accent in the altered segment, a sign of AI voice cloning.

The original interview excerpt, taken out of context, features Niazi discussing domestic support for her brother within Pakistan’s police force, with no mention of cross-border operations.

Noreen Niazi has publicly denounced the video as “doctored.” The false narrative appears designed to misrepresent her comments and inflame political tensions.
