Pakistan-based anti-India propaganda accounts are circulating baseless claims that 16 Indian soldiers have been killed in terrorist attacks in Kashmir since January 1, 2025, with Subedar Raja Ram Gurjar being the latest alleged target. These assertions are entirely false. Verified reports confirm that as of 16 January 2025, no soldier fatalities have occurred in terrorist incidents in Kashmir this year. Instead, four soldiers tragically lost their lives in a military vehicle accident in Bandipora, and Subedar Raja Ram Gurjar passed away due to a heart attack during a parade in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
