Deepfake video falsely shows Aleema Khan blaming army for India war

Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, recently appeared in an interview on Sky News. But soon after her interview aired, a deepfake clip began circulating on social media, drawing attention, particularly from Indian media.

It falsely claimed that she made remarks about the Pakistan-India war and blamed the army for it.

One X account posted the doctored one-minute clip with the caption: “Now this is insane… She is speaking as if she is a BJP leader!”.

In the fake video, interviewer Yalda Hakim appears to question Khan about the May conflict with India, followed by an AI-generated voice mimicking Khan, who then blames the army for the conflict and terms her brother "pure liberal, who always tries to befriend India and even BJP".

A review of the original Sky News broadcast confirmed that Aleema Khan made no such remarks.

This is terrifying — a deepfake of my interview with Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, is circulating. It falsely claims we discussed the Pakistan-India war earlier this year. We did NOT. This clip is completely fake. https://t.co/ucbvBHqTKp

Sky News host Yalda Hakim also termed the video fake, saying: "This is terrifying — a deepfake of my interview with Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, is circulating. It falsely claims we discussed the Pakistan-India war earlier this year. We did NOT. This clip is completely fake."
