Pakistani propaganda accounts are circulating a video showing LED signboards displaying “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans, falsely claiming that a wine shop owned by an Indian Army Major General in Goa was hacked and its display altered. However, this claim is entirely fake and fabricated. The video has no connection to any Indian Army officer, and there is no evidence of Pakistani hackers’ involvement.
A propaganda account @ZardSi shared the video, writing:
“🇮🇳 A wine shop owned by an Indian Army Major General in Goa got hacked — the signboard was changed to say ‘Pakistan Zindabad.’ Locals panicked after seeing it, ‘Pak Hack Division’ has claimed responsibility.”
Truth: LED boards in Goa displayed pro-Pakistan slogans deliberately, not due to hacking
As the false hacking claim gained traction online, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted a detailed investigation and reviewed credible news reports. Our investigation led us to The Times of India report titled “Pro-Pak LED board slogans land 2 Goa store owners behind bars.” According to the report, the LED board of “The Whiskey Pedia” wine shop and “Revive Hair Cutting Salon” in Goa intentionally displayed “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans. Authorities confirmed that this act was deliberate, designed to create fear, anger, and provocation among locals.
Officials further stated that the accused displayed the slogans as part of psychological warfare and propaganda, not as a result of any hacking attempt. There is no credible evidence suggesting the involvement of Pakistani cyber groups or that the shop belonged to any Indian Army Major General.
