Viral footage and news stories were widely shared by the Indian media purportedly showing a civil war-like situation in Karachi between the army and Sindh’s police force.

A verified account of an Indian advocate, Pratashnt Patel Umrao, shared an 'update' and wrote, "Civil War like situation in Pakistan. Army-Police clash in Karanchi, many officers are died. Maximum Police Officers from Sindh have went on leave. They are demanding Sindhu Desh. Imran has ordered to play Pak National songs on Radio."

Pakistanis went on to respond to the aforementioned false news. What followed, was a plethora of memes and rib-tickling retweets.
