NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral claim and found the image to be AI-generated.
A Reverse Image Search, along with a detailed keyword scan, did not yield any credible news reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts supporting the claim. No verified handles of Indian authorities or representatives from Afghanistan or Balochistan have shared any such image. Moreover, no reputable media outlet has reported any such development.
On closer inspection, the image exhibits several telltale signs of AI manipulation. These include inconsistent lighting and shadows, unnatural facial blending, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, and an overly smooth, synthetic-looking background — all common indicators of artificially generated visuals.
To further ascertain its authenticity, NewsMobile analysed the image using AI-detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both platforms flagged the image as AI-generated with high probability, confirming that the viral picture is not genuine.
The viral image claiming to show NSA Ajit Doval meeting representatives from Afghanistan and Balochistan is fake. It has been digitally created using AI tools and does not depict a real event.
