Jitendra Pratap Singh has over 97,000 followers on X. He regularly spreads fake news, despite being debunked multiple times. He is also followed by PM Narendra Modi. 

Singh recently in February shared an old pamphlet on X, falsely linking it to the 2025 Delhi elections. The pamphlet, which called Arvind Kejriwal the “messiah of Muslims,” was actually from 2020. A reverse image search confirmed its age, with a report showing the same image during the 2020 elections. Despite this, Singh misled his followers by presenting it as recent, continuing his pattern of spreading misinformation. Sigh’s post was viewed over 2000 times.

In September 2024, BJP supporter Singh spread another false claim on X, he posted a video that allegedly showed a Muslim individual putting up pro-Pakistan slogans. Right-wing outlet Sudarshan News amplified this misinformation, labeling the accused a ‘jihadi.’ However, police records, cited by news channels, confirmed that the person responsible was Yashwant Singh, a Hindu. Despite clear evidence, Singh deliberately misled his followers, pushing a false communal narrative.

In May 2024, Singh claimed that a painting behind Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in a viral image was of Jesus Christ. However, a fact-check by Alt News revealed that the artwork is Madonna Oriflamma, a 1932 painting by Nicholas Roerich. 

An image of a Sikh man without a moustache was shared on social media with the false claim that a Muslim man was posing as a Sikh in the farmers’ protest. Singh shared the image on February 15, 2024 suggesting that the individuals without moustaches in the protest were actually Maulanas from the Tablighi Jamaat. This claim had also circulated during the 2020 farmers’ protest. However, research by Alt News traced the image back to a Facebook Live broadcast from the Singhu Border, where it was revealed that the man in the image was part of a mixed Sikh and Muslim group at the protest. The image had been misleadingly edited and shared to fuel communal narratives.

A 34-second video of a man vandalising Hindu idols in a Durga Puja pandal went viral on social media in October 2024, with several users claiming the incident took place during Durga Puja in Bangladesh. Singh shared the video, falsely linking it to an attack by a radical Islamist named Mohammad Zubair Siddiqui in Dhaka. However, after researching the video, Alt News traced it back to an incident on June 22, 2023, at Dakshin Joypara Durga Mandir in Dohar Upazila, Dhaka. The man, identified as 18-year-old Md Siddique, was a known drug addict who desecrated six idols with a rod before being apprehended by locals and arrested by the police. The video, therefore, was not from a different incident in 2023.

In October 2024, a viral photograph showing an iron pole on railway tracks in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, was shared by Singh with the claim that terrorists deliberately placed it to derail the Dehradun Express, accusing a Muslim community of conspiracy. However, the incident, which occurred on September 18, 2024, was caused by two Hindu men attempting to steal the pole, which was found on the tracks. The loco pilot applied the brakes in time, preventing an accident. Police arrested the suspects, who had no ties to any terrorist groups, debunking the claim of a deliberate attack.
