Another claim of the Indian forces and the Indian media propaganda has turned out to be completely fake news.

The man who was recently declared by the Indian media as the nephew of Maulana Masood Azhar and apparently ‘killed in a high-profile encounter’ is not only alive but peacefully lives in Gujranwala, Pakistan, 24NewsHD TV channel reported Monday.

Indian media claimed the man who was killed in the encounter was Maulana Masood Azhar's nephew named Talha Rashid and the encounter took place in India-held Kashmir's (IHK) Pulwama district but in reality, the pictures which were widely circulated on the Indian media was of Rana Saleem a resident of Gujranwala.

24NewsHD TV talked to Rana Saleem and he informed that he is alive and live in his farms in Gujranwala.

As per Indian media reports, the encounter took place on July 4 this year in which the nephew of the Maulana Masood Azhar was killed but Indian media used pictures of a Pakistani person who is alive and live peacefully.

Indian media is famous for distorting the facts and widely biased reporting and India media reporting on Occupied Valley of Jammu and Kashmir has been repeatedly criticized.
